Patent attributes
An optical head includes: a first optical element having an optical characteristic of reflecting a light of a first wavelength and transmitting lights of second and third wavelengths, on the first optical element the light of the first wavelength from a first light source being incident; and a second optical element having an optical characteristic of transmitting the light of the first wavelength, reflecting the light of the second or the third wavelength in a first polarization state and transmitting the light of the second or the third wavelength in a second polarization state, a first surface on which the light reflected by the first optical element is incident, a second surface on which the lights of the second and the third wavelengths from second and third light sources are incident, and a third surface emitting the first, the second and the third lights incident from the first and the second surfaces.
