    摘要: A photoacoustic element which has excellent optical properties and acoustic properties is achieved. The photoacoustic element (1) includes: a metal layer (10); a first member (11) which is bonded to one primary surface of the metal layer (10); and a second member (12) which is bonded to another primary surface of the metal layer (10). The metal layer (10) reflects optical waves and transmits photoacoustic waves stemming from optical waves. Materials of the metal layer (10), the first member (11), and the second member (12) are selected so as to match an acoustic impedance of the metal layer (10) and an acoustic impedance of each of the first member (11) and the second member (12).

    摘要: Provided is a light reduction mechanism which includes a plate-type first beam splitter and a plate-type second beam splitter, in which in a case where the X axis and the Y axis are arbitrary orthogonal coordinate axes in the plane perpendicular to the optical axis of laser beam irradiation optical unit whose origin is in the optical axis, the first beam splitter is arranged with the X axis as a rotation axis and inclined at an angle α in the range from 30° to 60° inclusive with respect to the plane perpendicular to the optical axis, and the second beam splitter is arranged with the X′ axis, which is parallel to the X axis and passes through the optical axis, as a rotation axis, and inclined at an angle −α with respect to the plane perpendicular to the optical axis.

    摘要: There is provided: an optical system including a focus lens group having positive refractive power and configured to move along an optical axis when focusing from an infinite-distance object to a short-distance object, and satisfying predetermined conditional expressions; and an imaging device including the optical system. The focus lens group includes a lens subgroup A, an aperture stop, and a lens subgroup B in order from the object side. The lens subgroup A includes a negative lens, a positive lens, and a positive lens in order from the image side. The lens subgroup B includes a negative lens and a positive lens in order from the object side.

    摘要: A condensing objective optical system includes a first lens group having negative refractive power, a second lens group being a focus group having positive refractive power, and a photoacoustic element disposed closest to an object in this order. The photoacoustic element reflects an optical wave from the second lens group toward an object to transmit a photoacoustic wave from the object side. The condensing objective optical system satisfies a specific conditional expression that defines the conditions of the included lens and the condition regarding focusing.
