To fix an integrated type light receiving/emitting element emitting a laser beam toward an optical recording medium and receiving a return laser beam from the optical recording medium to a slide base with soldering.

This optical pickup device is provided with the slide base 13 supported accessibly/separably for an optical disk and a laser coupler 15 fitted to the slide base 13, emitting the laser beam toward the optical disk and receiving the return laser beam from the optical disk, and records and/or reproduces an information signal on the optical disk. At least a part of the laser coupler 15 or its package 33 is formed of a solderable member, and a solderable soldering part 34 is provided on the fitting base 31 of the slide base 13 fitted with the laser coupler 15, and the soldering part 34 is soldered, and the laser coupler 15 is fixed to the slide base 13.
