In a diffractive optical element and a polarization separation element using this diffractive optical element, incident light can be effectively separated for the respective polarization directions over the entire used wavelength range. The diffractive optical element is arranged such that the diffractive optical element has a grating structure in which at least two blazed type grating portions are successively arranged along a light traveling direction. Additionally, in at least one grating portion of the two blazed type grating portions, structures smaller than a used wavelength are arranged in a periodic manner.

摘要:
An invisible information detection apparatus includes parts that irradiate a light onto a medium, detect infrared light generated from the medium, and judge a specific pattern consisting of a combination of two areas on the medium in accordance with the detection result. One of the areas represents higher reflectance than the reflectance of the medium in substantially the same infrared wavelength region, and the other area represents lower reflectance than that of the medium. An invisible information detection method comprises an irradiation step, a detection step and a judgment step. The judgment step judges a specific pattern of a combination of two areas on the medium in accordance with the result from the detection step. One of the areas represents higher reflectance, and the other area represents lower reflectance, as compared to the reflectance of the medium, in substantially the same infrared wavelength region.
