Abstract: Color separation devices, and image sensors including the color separation devices and color filters, include at least two transparent bars that face each other with a gap therebetween. Mutually-facing surfaces of the at least two transparent bars are separated from each other by the gap such that the at least two transparent bars allow diffraction of visible light passing therebetween. The at least two transparent bars have a refractive index greater than a refractive index of a surrounding medium.

Abstract: An image acquisition apparatus includes a color filter on which a plurality of types of color filter elements are arranged, an optical path modulation optical element configured to shift an incident position of an image on the color filter by electrically modulating an optical path of the image, and a photoelectric conversion cell array configured to acquire image information for each color by detecting, in pixel units, light which has passed through the color filter. A color image is obtained by acquiring, in a time division manner, the image information for each color of the image of which a position is changed by the optical path modulation optical element by using a detection signal of the photoelectric conversion cell array, and combining the acquired image information for each color.
