ABSTRACT:
A polarizing beam splitter for dividing a return light beam reflected by a magneto-optical record medium into two light beams polarized in mutually orthogonal directions, including a main body made of a birefringent crystal and having an incident surface upon which the return light beam is made incident and a reflection surface, and a reflecting member provided on the reflection surface of the main body and formed by a metal film or a stack of dielectric material films. Upon refraction by the incident surface of the main body, the incident light beam is split into ordinary and extraordinary light beams, which are then reflected by the reflection surface of the main body. An optic axis of the main body is set to be parallel with the reflection surface, the ordinary and extraordinary light beams are reflected as they are and emanate from the polarizing beam splitter.
