Abstract
A system for providing a read signal from a magneto-optic medium wherein a non-rotated leaky beam splitter is utilized to provide both s and p components of the light reflected from the medium to a differential detector arrangement. The beam splitter, which may be of conventional construction and which has the reflected beam striking its medium-facing face at normal incidence, is operated in a leaky mode by utilizing it with a read beam having a wavelength differing from the wavelength for which the beam splitter was designed. One face of the beam splitter can be cut at a small angle off normal to prevent any p-polarized light from entering the differential detector arrangement directly from the light source.
