摘要:
A rod lens made of a transparent cylindrical medium having a refractive index distribution in the radial direction is used as a graded index lens. An object surface and an image surface are arranged on both sides of the rod lens. A first surface of the lens is a convex spherical surface, and a second surface of the lens is a planar surface, and the lens is arranged so that the convex spherical surface faces the object surface, and the planar surface faces an image surface. The equations1.0.ltoreq.R/r.sub.0 .ltoreq.1.6, andR/f.ltoreq.1.2are satisfied, wherein r.sub.0 is a radius of a portion of the rod lens that operates as a lens, measured from an optical axis of the lens, R is a curvature radius of the convex spherical surface, and f is a focal length of the rod lens. Thus, an object lens system with a large NA, that is smaller and lighter, while keeping the number of parts to a minimum, can be provided.

An optical imaging system is provided that includes a rod lens array and has the optimum refractive index distribution for achieving a high resolving power. The refractive index distribution of rod lenses can be expressed by n(r)2=n02·{1−(g·r)2+h4·(g·r)4+h619 (g·r)6+h8·(g·r)8}Eq. 45 where r is a radial distance from the optical axis of the rod lenses, n0 is a refractive index on the optical axis of the rod lenses, and g, h4, h6 and h8 are refractive index distribution coefficients. The refractive index distribution coefficients h4, h6 and h8 are set on a spheroid in a Cartesian coordinate system with h4 being x-axis, h6 being y-axis and h8 being z-axis. The spheroid is defined by a vector X* that is expressed by X*=(x, y, z)=O*+kAA*+kBB*+kCC*Eq. 46 where O* is a vector from the origin of the Cartesian coordinate system to the center of the spheroid, A*, B* and C* are vectors in the directions of the major axis, the mean axis and the minor axis of the spheroid, respectively, and kA, kB and kC satisfy kA2+kB2+kC2≦1.

A photonic crystal waveguide has a core formed by a photonic crystal having periodicity in the Y-direction.

An optical element according to the invention constituted by a multilayer structure having a periodic structural portion as at least one region constituted by repetition of a predetermined period, wherein an end surface of the multilayer structure not parallel to layer surfaces of the multilayer structure is used as a light input surface whereas one or each of opposite surfaces of the multilayer structure parallel to the layer surfaces is used as a light output surface. There is an intermediate layer between a medium and a surface of the multilayer structure, the intermediate layer having a refractive index less than the refractive index of the medium. The periodic structural portion of the multilayer structure can be regarded as a one-dimensional photonic crystal. Refracted light from the one-dimensional photonic crystal has good directivity and the direction of the refracted light has strong dependence on wavelength. When this wavelength dependence property is used, a spectroscopic device or a polarized light separating device of high resolution can be achieved without increase in device size.
