A first multilayer film filter 2 is formed on one side of a transparent substrate 1, e.g., glass, and a second multilayer film filter 3 is formed on the other side. The multilayer film filter 2 is a low pass filter, and the multilayer film filter 3 is a high pass filter. Furthermore, the multilayer films are designed so that a shift in spectral transmittance characteristics produced by changes in incident angle is larger for the multilayer film filter 2 than for the multilayer film filter 3. Thereby, even if light of a wavelength that should be blocked is transmitted due to the shift in the spectral transmittance characteristics of the multilayer film filter 2, the transmittance of light of that wavelength is blocked because of the shift in the spectral transmittance characteristics of the multilayer film filter 3. Thereby, the dichroic filter transmits a significantly reduced percentage of stray light that impinges at large incident angles.
