<p>A plural beam optical head is constituted by an optical system for imaging a plurality of light beams onto an optical information recording medium, a double-refractive crystal prism and a sensor. The plurality of light beams obtained from the optical information recording medium are separated into components the polarized direction of which are orthogonal one another by the double-refractive crystal prism. The direction of arrangement of the plurality of light beams incident on the double-refractive crystal prism is substantially perpendicular to the direction of separation of the light beams obtained from the double-refractive crystal prism. The light beams from the double-refractive crystal prism are received by the sensor. <IMAGE></p> |
