Abstract
An optical element includes a substrate, a surface layer including thin films disposed on the substrate, and an absorption layer provided between the surface layer and the substrate and having transmittance that varies depending on a position on the substrate. The surface layer includes a first film disposed farthest from the substrate and having a refractive index of no less than 1.05 nor more than 1.4 at a wavelength of 550 nm. The surface layer includes a second film disposed closer to the substrate than the first film and having a higher refractive index than the substrate at a wavelength of 550 nm and a third film disposed adjacent to the second film and having a lower refractive index than the second film at a wavelength of 550 nm. The absorption layer has an extinction coefficient of no more than 0.5 at wavelengths of from 400 nm to 700 nm.
