    Abstract: An optical device capable of achieving desired polarization properties including a light source, incident-side polarizing element, optical modulating element, emission-side first polarizing element, and emission-side second polarizing element, the first and second polarizing elements each have a wire-grid structure and include a plurality of convex portions arranged on a transparent substrate and spaced apart from each other at a pitch shorter than the wavelength of light in the light source, the transmission axis of the first polarizing element relative to the transmission axis of the incident-side polarizing element is within ±8.5°, and the convex portions of the second polarizing element are lattice-shaped extending in a predetermined direction and include, in order from the transparent substrate side, a reflection layer, dielectric layer, and absorption layer, the rotation angle of the absorption axis of the second polarizing element relative to the absorption axis of the incident-side polarizing element is within ±0.7°.

    Abstract: Provided is a polarizing element having a wire grid structure. The polarizing element includes a transparent substrate (11) and grid-shaped protrusions (10) that are arranged on the transparent substrate (11) at a smaller pitch than a wavelength of operating band light and that extend in a specific direction. The grid-shaped protrusions (10) include a reflection layer (12) formed on the transparent substrate (11). The reflection layer (12) includes a metal layer (15) and an oxide layer (16) that covers a side surface of the metal layer (15) as viewed in the specific direction and is formed from an oxide of a constituent metal of the metal layer (15).
