Abstract
A magneto-optical memory device includes a recording medium having a magnetic anisotropy in a direction perpendicular to the main surface thereof. A semiconductor laser is employed in an optical system of the magneto-optical memory device for reproduction purposes. A polarization beam splitter is disposed in the optical system. A multi coated dielectric thin-film is deposited on the reflection surface of the polarization beam splitter in order to establish a desired relationship between the reflection of the P-polarization component and the S-polarization component.
