ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to an optical head adapted for performing recording or reproduction of information signals with respect to an optical disc (102), which controls light coupling efficiency with respect to light beams irradiated onto the optical disc (102) by light coupling efficiency adjustable element such as a liquid crystal element (214), etc. in accordance with type of the optical disc (102), recording surface of multi-layer optical disc and/or operation mode to change power of light beams irradiated onto the optical disc (102) to a large extent without excessively increasing change quantity of output power of a semiconductor laser element (212). A beam splitter (218) divides incident light beams of P-polarized light at a predetermined ratio to allow the light beams thus obtained to be incident on a light detector (219) for disc surface power monitor.
