An optical pickup compatible with recording media having different formats, the optical pickup includes a light device module having a first light beam source and a second light beam source to emit corresponding first and second light beams having different wavelengths, a hologram light coupler to separately guide the first and second light beams along the same optical path such that the first and second light beams go toward a corresponding one of the recording media, an optical path changing element to selectively alter the optical path of an incident light beam, and an objective lens disposed on an optical path between said optical path changing element the corresponding one of the recording media to focus the first and second light beam on the corresponding one of the recording media, and a photodetector to receive the first and second light beam incident from said optical path changing element.
