Abstract

An optical pickup apparatus includes first, second and third light sources; a light converging optical system including a first objective optical element and a second objective optical element, wherein the first objective optical element converges the light flux emitted from the first light source on a first information recording surface, the second objective optical element converges the light flux emitted from the third light source on a third information recording surface, and the first objective optical element or the second objective optical element converges the light flux emitted from the second light source on a second information recording surface; a lens holder holding the first objective optical element and the second objective element therein; and a chromatic aberration correcting element which corrects a chromatic aberration caused by a wavelength variation in a light flux emitted by the first light source.
