Abstract
The optical element of the present invention has an anti-reflection film formed on a substrate. Here, the anti-reflection film comprises a first layer formed on the substrate; a second layer formed on the first layer and consisting of a material different from that of the first layer; and a third layer formed on the second layer and consisting of a concave-convex structure. Also, the third layer has three regions of which a refractive index for each thickness changes at a constant rate by continuously changing the space filling factor of the concave-convex structure.
