Abstract

An optical head device includes a first light source and a second light source respectively emitting a first light beam and a second light beam, a luminous flux separating section selectively separating the first and second light beams for which the same optical path is used, to first and second optical paths, respectively, and a first objective lens converging the first light beam that has been separated to the first optical path on the first optical information recording medium. Further, the optical head device includes a second objective lens made of resin and converging the second light beam separated to the second optical path on the second optical information recording medium, and a first filtering section formed on a beam exit face of the second objective lens and reducing the transmittance of the first light beam to be lower than transmittance of the second light beam.
