An optical pickup using an optical fiber module which includes optical fibers is provided, which can be small-sized and utilize a light beam from a light source at high efficiency. <??>The optical pickup includes: an optical fiber module 20, in which an optical fiber 10 consists of: a first optical fiber 11 which is a field-distribution converting fiber and a second optical fiber 12 whose core has birefringence, both the optical fibers 11 and 12 are connected to each other at one end thereof, and the laser light beam L emitted from the semiconductor laser 1 is made to enter the other end of the first optical fiber 11; an optical head having at least an objective lens; an optical detector; wherein the optical fiber 10 is used as optical wiring to lead the laser light beam L emitted from the semiconductor laser 1 into the optical head. <IMAGE>
