An optical disc subsystem, optically coupled to a light source operable to generate light of at least two wavelengths, comprising: a polarizing beam splitter (PBS) operable to receive the light from the light source and linearly polarize the light on a forward pass, wherein the PBS is further operable to receive linearly polarized light on a reverse pass, wherein the PBS further comprises a boundary operable to reflect at least a portion of the reverse pass light; and a polarizing device operable to transform, on the forward pass, linearly polarized light from the PBS to circularly polarized light, the polarizing device being further operable to transform, on the reverse pass, circularly polarized light to linearly polarized light, wherein the light on the reverse pass is substantially orthogonal to the light on the forward pass.
