In order to obtain a beam splitting prism which a beam can be split with
simpler configuration in a state in which an optical path length is
precisely controlled, there is provided a beam splitting prism having an
incident and an outgoing faces orthogonal or parallel to each other,
wherein transparent mediums, at least one beam splitter, and at least one
reflector are combined so that the beam splitter and the reflector are
located between the transparent mediums, the beam splitter and the
reflector are arranged whose normal directions are orthogonal to each
other, whereby a beam incident from an incident end face is outputted
from an outgoing end face in the form of a plurality of split output
beams.
