ABSTRACT:
A mode splitter and the magneto-optical pick-up device including the mode splitter are provided. The mode splitter includes a tapered waveguide portion whose thickness gradually becomes thin so that a light of at least one mode can be cut off. An emission position of a light wave can be varied depending on its mode. In this mode splitter, the emission position of the light wave of each mode can be adjusted by changing a thickness of the tapered waveguide, thereby improving the degree of freedom in designing the device.
