The present invention provides an optical pickup device requiring no position adjustment of a diffraction grating at the time of assembling the optical pickup device, and capable of suppressing fluctuations in a differential push-pull signal amplitude and cancelling a push-pull offset.An optical pickup device 200 of an embodiment of the present invention has a diffraction grating 230 of a special shape including predetermined grooves and two kinds of lattice grooves arranged at a pitch determined on the basis of a pitch of grooves formed in the surface of an optical disk 50, numerical aperture, wavelength of a light beam, and effective diameter of the light beam applied on the optical disk 50. To suppress push-pull signals generated in the ± first-order diffraction rays, reflection rays from the optical disk 50 of a zeroth-order diffraction ray and ± first-order diffraction rays are detected, and signals corresponding to light reception results are output to a reproduction unit 150, a control unit 130, and an actuator servo circuit 140.
