Abstract

According to one embodiment, an optical deflection element includes a substrate and three or more electrodes. The substrate has an incidence plane which the laser light enters and an emission plane from which the laser light exits. The three or more electrodes are arranged on the substrate at first intervals in a first direction. Electrodes allow a surface acoustic wave having a first wavelength to be generated in the substrate by applying a voltage thereto. Wiring is provided such that a voltage is selectively applied to the electrodes at an interval between at least two electrodes. The electrodes allow a surface acoustic wave having a second wavelength to be generated in the substrate by applying a voltage selectively at second intervals.
