An optical pick-up apparatus having a plurality of light sources emitting light fluxes having different wavelengths from each other, an objective lens for focusing each of the light fluxes emitted from a plurality of light sources onto the information recording surface of the information recording medium, and an optical element reflecting a first light flux input from a predetermined direction, and a second light flux input from a different position in the direction of the optical axis of the objective lens in an inverse side to the side to which the first light flux is input, approximately in parallel to the direction of the optical axis of the objective lens.
