Abstract
An optical head which optically reads and writes signals recorded on a recording medium comprises a beam cutting mirror provided to the rear of a beam splitter and having a total reflection surface, a total absorption surface, and a polarizing surface, and a photodetector detecting incident beams. Since the photodetector and the light source are provided on two parallel light source, the optical head of the present invention can use a laser beam detector and a photodetector for detecting focussing signals, tracking signals, and information signals as one package, so as to bring a rapid improvement in miniaturization, lightweight, and compaction.
