An optical pickup device of the present invention includes a substrate having at least a major surface, a semiconductor laser provided on the surface of the substrate for emitting laser beam, a reflection-type diffraction grating oriented to the semiconductor laser for splitting the laser beam into at least three beams and reflecting them upward, a hologram for receiving the three beams reflected from the reflection-type diffraction grating, and an objective lens for converging onto an optical recording medium the three beams transmitted by the hologram. The three beams reflected from the optical recording medium are focused by the hologram and directed onto the photodetector from the above.
