Abstract
The present invention relates to a solid-state imaging element which is able to provide the solid-state imaging element having a polarizing element having a simple configuration and structure based on a wire grid polarizer technique, a solid-state imaging device, an imaging apparatus, and a method of manufacturing a polarizing element. The solid-state imaging device includes a plurality of solid-state imaging elementseach including a photoelectric conversion elementand a polarizing elementformed on the light incident side of the photoelectric conversion element. The solid-state imaging device includes two or more kinds of polarizing elementshaving different polarization orientations. Each polarizing element has a stacked structure in which a stripe-shaped reflecting layer, an insulating layerformed on the reflecting layer, and a light absorption layermade up of a plurality of segments' formed on the insulating layerin a separated state are stacked in that order from the photoelectric conversion element side.
