An optical pickup head which utilizes two or three laser beams of different wavelengths for reading or writing data on different kinds of optical recording media through a same optical output path is disclosed. According to the present invention, a beam shaper located in optical paths of multiple laser beams is used. The beam shaper is composed of two prisms in which several laser beam interfaces are formed. Each laser beam interface is furnished with a specific coating for reflecting laser beam of a specific wavelength and transmitting and refracting laser beams of other wavelengths. Therefore, laser beams in different wavelengths can be shaped into a same optical output path for reading and writing data from optical recording media. The laser beams passing through the beam shaper can be eliminated of their chromatic aberrations, and improved their cross-sectional shapes to get higher usage efficiencies of the laser beams. And, the optical pickup head is constructed as a compact unit with small size.
