Abstract

A diffractive optical elementincludes a first diffraction grating, a second diffraction grating, filmsformed between the first diffraction gratingand the second diffraction grating. The DOEsatisfies a conditional expression of n<n<n, where nis an average refractive index of filmsformed between grating wall surfacesand grating wall surfacesat a wavelength of 550 nm, nis a refractive index of the first diffraction gratingat a wavelength of 550 nm, and nis a refractive index of the second diffraction gratingat a wavelength of 550 nm. The filmsand filmsthat are formed between grating surfacesand grating surfacessatisfy a predetermined relationship.
