Abstract

Provided is a diffractive optical element (1) that is formed by laminating two optical material layers (2 and 3) formed of different energy-cured resins; in which a relief pattern (4) is formed at the interface between the two optical material layers (2 and 3); and that satisfies the following conditional expressions: wherein d 1 is the center plate thickness (mm) of one optical material layer 2 that is cured first, d 2 is the center plate thickness (mm) of the other optical material layer 3 that is cured later, and ÆE is the effective diameter (mm) of the relief pattern 4.

Embodiment Construction

[0088] Hereinafter, a diffractive optical element according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0089] Such as figure 1 As shown, the diffractive optical element 1 of this embodiment is a multilayer diffractive optical element 1 in which the first optical material layer 2 and the second optical material layer 3 are laminated.

[0090] The two optical material layers 2, 3 are respectively composed of different energy curable resins.

[0091] The first optical material layer 2 is the first cured optical material layer, with a central thickness of d 1 , the refractive index in the d-line is n 1 , the Abbe number is ν 1 . The second optical material layer 3 is a post-cured optical material layer with a central thickness of d 2 , the refractive index in the d-line is n 2 , the Abbe number is ν 2 .

[0092] In addition, a relief pattern 4 is formed on the interface between the first optical material layer 2 and the se...
