ABSTRACT The information detecting method of the invention comprises irradiating a recording medium with a linearly polarized light, causing the reflected light from the medium to be transmitted by a .lambda./4 plate which is configured at an azimuth of approx. 45°, then causing the transmitted light to enter into a polarization beam splitter which is configured at an azimuth of approx. 90° to split the light into a P component and a S component, detecting the P component and the S component individually by a photosensitive detector, and differentially amplifying signals of the P component and the S component by a differential amplifier to detect the reproduced signals based on Kerr ellipticity. According to the information detection method, the reproduced signals can be detected with a high S/N ratio and the optical detection system can be simplified. Further, the information detection method based on the Kerr ellipticity can be used in combination with an information detection method based on Kerr rotation angle or a reflectance, and thereby detection of multi- level signals becomes possible. Hence, recording of information with high density can be attained. According to the invention, moreover, an optical recording medium capable of being recorded with multi level signals and suitably used for the above-mentioned information detection methods can be provided.
