摘要:
An optical rotating plate has an optical rotating material layer. A phase plate is provided on a first surface side of the optical rotating plate and has at least one birefringent material layer. The first surface side is disposed toward an emitting side of an optical path, thereby giving different phase differences to a first linearly polarized light group containing at least a linearly polarized light having a first wavelength and a second linearly polarized light group containing at least a linearly polarized light having a second wavelength which is different from the first wavelength.

The present invention provides a wavelength-selective diffraction element, configured such that light having a plurality of wavelengths are incident thereon as incident light, which is provided with: a transparent substrate; a concavo-convex part, formed on the transparent substrate such that concave portions and convex portions are cyclically extended in one direction, and comprised of a first material which is optically isotropic; and a filling part, filling at least the concave portions and comprised of a second material which is optically isotropic. The first material and the second material have no absorbance with respect to the wavelengths of the incident light. The first material and the second material have an identical refractive index with respect to light having a first wavelength which is at least one of the wavelengths of the incident light. The first material and the second material have different refractive indices with respect to light having a second wavelength which is at least one of the wavelengths of the incident light and different from the first wavelength.

It is provided an optical head device which includes: a light source; an objective lens, configured to converge light emitted from the light source to an information recording surface of an optical disk; a beam splitter, configured to deflect returned light reflected by the optical disk into an optical path which is different from an optical path of the light emitted from the light source; a photo detector, configured to detect the returned light deflected by the beam splitter; and a depolarizing element, disposed on an optical path between the beam splitter and the photo detector, and configured to cause the returned light to transmit through while reducing a degree of polarization of the returned light.

A liquid crystal element includes: a transparent substrate; and a liquid crystal layer including: a liquid crystal material; and a concavo-convex portion including periodic concaves and convexes, wherein the concavo-convex portion is aligned so that a longitudinal direction of liquid crystal molecules that are positioned on a side of the transparent substrate and on a concavo-convex surface that is an interface of the concavo-convex portion substantially becomes a vertical direction with respect to a concavo-convex surface on the side of the transparent substrate, or a longitudinal direction of liquid crystal molecules that are positioned on a side, in which a medium is disposed and which is opposite to the transparent substrate, and on the concavo-convex surface that is the interface of the concavo-convex portion substantially becomes the vertical direction with respect to a concavo-convex surface on the side, in which the medium is disposed, to form a diffraction grating.
