Abstract
A reflective mirror 14 is inclined and placed with respect to an objective lens 16 and a photoelectric conversion element 15 for monitor is placed in the back side of the reflective mirror 14. The reflective mirror 14 is formed into a structure in which a semi-transmission film HM having predetermined reflectance and transmittance is formed on one surface of a substrate of a transparent medium. When a laser beam for information record or information reproduction is launched from semiconductor lasers 2a, 3 to the reflective mirror 14, the semi-transmission film HM splits the laser beam into a reflected beam and a transmitted beam and the reflected beam is emitted to the side of the objective lens 16 and the transmitted beam is emitted to the side of the photoelectric conversion element 15. As a result of this, any laser beams for the information record and the information reproduction can be detected by one photoelectric conversion element 15 to perform APC control of the semiconductor lasers 2a, 3 and the intensity of the laser beam for the information record and the information reproduction with respect to an information record medium can be controlled properly.
