SOLUTION: When a diffraction grating DG wherein a wavelength λ not to be diffracted and a wavelength λ to be diffracted are respectively determined as design targets is designed, values of refractive indices n of materials M1 and M2 to be candidates in each wavelength λ are substituted for a left side of formula (16), a right side of formula (16) is made to be a ratio of simple integers by satisfying formula (11) and the materials M1 and M2 to be the candidates are discriminated to be suitable as materials which constitute the diffraction grating DG when formula (17) is satisfied. Thus, the materials M1 and M2 capable of forming the diffraction grating DG as to be specified designed can be easily selected. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make the best display of a reflection preventive effect by changing film thickness in a center part of a surface part of a reflection preventive film from the thickness of the peripheral part according to an incident angle of luminous flux for the surface part. SOLUTION: The reflection preventive films are formed on the surface part 1a and a rear surface part 1b of a lens 1 consisting of nitric material and transparent synthetic resin material. The film thickness are different from each other among the reflection preventive film formed on an incident first area A1 being the area of the central part of the surface part 1a, the reflection preventive film formed on an incident surface second area B1 being the circular area of the peripheral part of this incident surface first area A1 and the reflection preventive film formed on an incident surface third area C1 being the circular area ranging from the outer edge of this incident surface second area B1 to the peripheral part of the lens surface. Further, related to the rear surface part 1b also, the film thickness are different from each other. The differences in the film thickness in every area of these reflection preventive films are decided according to the incident angle (outgoing angle) shown by θ of the luminous flux for the lens surface in the area.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To accurately attach a multilens for an optical pickup made of glass to a lens holder and to reduce a manufacturing cost of the multilens. SOLUTION: Planes parallel to an optical axis X-X of the multilens 1 for the optical pickup made of glass form two planes (a first reference flank 4 and a second reference flank 5) which are respectively parallel to or orthogonally intersecting with a cylindrical generatrix 6 of a cylindrical surface 2 being a front surface of the lens. On one surface of a planar glass preform material, projecting lines 16 having cylindrical surfaces and stretching in cylindrical generatrix directions are formed by pressing. On another surface at a part opposed to the projecting line 16, plural spherical recessed parts 17 having recessed spherical surfaces are formed along the cylindrical generatrix directions and then respective spherical recessed parts are cut as a unit.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a manufacturing method of optical element capable of materializing a diffraction element exhibiting a satisfactory characteristic. SOLUTION: When a diffraction pattern layer 20E is formed by a replica method, a first UV-curing resin 100A is irradiated with UV rays which allow curing reaction to quickly proceed, even though there is a risk of degrading the resin by long-time irradiation over a short curing time, whereby a most part of functional groups of the first UV-curable resin 100A are reacted effectively, and thereafter, the first UV-curing resin 100A is irradiated with an irradiation light, which has a low speed of curing reaction although there is a small risk of degrading the resin because of a low energy level of the resin over an irradiation time longer than the curing time, whereby the functional groups remaining in the first UV-curable resin 100A, of which the speed of curing reaction is left to be small because of disappearance of the fluidity, is made to substantially completely react taking a long time.
