A polarization separation device includes a first end surface on which incident light is incident, a polarization separation surface that reflects an s-polarized light component and transmits a p-polarized light component, a second end surface that is arranged to be opposed to the first end surface, converts the p-polarized light component transmitted through the polarization separation surface to the s-polarized light component, and reflects the converted light component to an optical axis direction which is the same as the incident light, a third end surface from which the s-polarized light component reflected by the polarization separation surface without transmitting through the polarization separation surface is output, and a fourth end surface that is arranged to be opposed to the third end surface and from which the s-polarized light component reflected by the second end surface and the polarization separation surface is output.
