1. An optical pickup device, comprising:
a semiconductor laser including three light emitting elements for emitting laser light beams having different wavelengths, which are housed in a case; and
an optical system including an objective lens, for guiding the laser light beams emitted from the semiconductor laser onto a recording medium,
wherein an optical axis of a laser light beam which is incident on the objective lens as a finite system light beam, of the laser light beams emitted from the three light emitting elements is aligned with an optical axis of the optical system.
