Abstract
An optical polymer material includes an alternating copolymer made of a monomer of a styrene derivative and a monomer of a maleimide derivative, and has a nonlinear property in which the photoelastic coefficient of the optical polymer material decreases to a predetermined value with increase in composition ratio of the styrene derivative, and rises above the predetermined value with further increase in composition ratio of the styrene derivative. A composition ratio of the styrene derivative is within a predetermined range. An absolute value of the photoelastic coefficient is equal to or smaller than a first absolute value within the predetermined range of the composition ratio, and an absolute value of the intrinsic birefringence is equal to or smaller than a second absolute value of the optical polymer material within the predetermined range of the composition ratio.
