    Abstract: PURPOSE: To provide a wavelength-division reverse multiplexing element expectable as giving high polarization rotating efficiency under the reduction of an energy loss, and capable of narrowing the peak line width of a reflected beam. CONSTITUTION: This reverse multiplexing element is structured to include the first mirror layer 20 used as a lower mirror layer formed on a substrate, with a medium having a small refraction factor and a medium having a large refraction factor alternately stacked, the second mirror layer 40 used as an upper mirror layer, with a medium having a large refraction factor and a medium having a small refraction factor alternately stacked, and an intermediate layer 30 made of a Kerr medium formed between the first mirror layer 20 and the second mirror layer 40. Also, the first mirror layer 20 is formed to have a relatively large refraction factor for the second mirror layer 40.
