It is provided an optical head device which includes: a light source; an objective lens, configured to converge light emitted from the light source to an information recording surface of an optical disk; a beam splitter, configured to deflect returned light reflected by the optical disk into an optical path which is different from an optical path of the light emitted from the light source; a photo detector, configured to detect the returned light deflected by the beam splitter; and a depolarizing element, disposed on an optical path between the beam splitter and the photo detector, and configured to cause the returned light to transmit through while reducing a degree of polarization of the returned light.
