Abstract
An optical component including: a first block having a first refractive index and a first reflective surface; a first light absorbing member containing a first metal ion that absorbs light having a first specific wavelength and has a second refractive index different from the first refractive index; a first buffer layer between and in contact with each of the first light absorbing member and the first block, and having a third refractive index having a value between the first refractive index and the second refractive index, wherein the first light absorbing member, the first buffer layer, and the first block are arranged in this order in a first direction such that first block reflects light traveling in the first direction in a second direction different from the first direction on the first reflective surface.
