An optical head has a beam input/output coupler on a planar waveguide and other parts including: a light transmitting element emitting a beam; a planar waveguide formed on a substrate and receiving the beam oscillated from the light transmitting element; a beam input/output coupler integrated as a thin film on a portion of the planar waveguide and receiving the beam through the planar waveguide to transmit the beam vertically toward a disc positioned above the planar waveguide or transmitting the beam reflected from the disc through the planar waveguide; and light receiving elements receiving the beam propagated to the planar waveguide through the beam input/output coupler.
