    摘要: There is provided a near field light generating element 22 including a polyhedron core 40 having a reflecting surface 40a configured to reflect a luminous flux L in a direction different from the direction of introduction, a luminous flux condensing unit 40b formed by drawing in such a manner that a cross-sectional area orthogonal to a longitudinal direction extending from the one end side toward the other end side is reduced gradually for propagating the reflected luminous flux toward the other end side while condensing the same; a near field light generating unit 40c further drawn from an end portion of the luminous flux condensing unit to the other end side for generating a near field light R from the condensed luminous flux and emitting the same from the other end side toward an outside; and a clad 41 configured to confine the core in the interior thereof by coming into tight contact with a side surface of the core, in which an end surface 40d has a size not exceeding the wavelength of the light and a side surface of the near field light generating unit is light-shielded by a light-shielding film 42.
