It must be very strenuous at less than 200nm. Therefore, it is very difficult to form an antireflection concavo-convex structure capable of suppressing the generation of reflected light and suppressing the generation of diffracted light. It is particularly difficult when the wavelength of the incident light is relatively short, and in some cases it cannot be formed. is there. In other words, it is difficult to manufacture an optical member in which the generation of reflected light and diffracted light is sufficiently suppressed.

- the lens barrel unit 11 includes a cylindrical (in detail, cylindrical) lens barrel 1 and an imaging optical system 13 housed inside the lens barrel 1.
- the imaging optical system 13 is for imaging light incident on the lens barrel 1 from the image side (left side in FIG. 1).
- the imaging optical system 13 is specifically composed of a first lens 13a, a second lens 13b, and a third lens 13c.
- the lenses 13a to 13c constituting the imaging optical system 13 may be disposed on the optical axis so as not to be displaced.
- at least one of the lenses 13a to 13c may be configured to be displaceable on the optical axis, and focusing may be configured to change magnification.
- the lens barrel unit 11 is attached to the apparatus main body 14.
- the lens barrel unit 11 may be detachable from the apparatus main body 14 or may be detachably attached to the apparatus main body 14.
- the apparatus body 14 is provided with an image sensor 12.
- the imaging element 12 is disposed on the optical axis of the imaging optical system 13.
- the image pickup device 12 has an image pickup surface, and is arranged so that an optical image is formed on the image pickup surface by the image forming optical system 13.
- the image sensor 12 has a function as a photodetector.
- the image sensor 12 has a function of detecting an optical image formed on the optical image and outputting an electrical signal corresponding to the optical image.
- the image pickup device 12 is constituted by, for example, a CCD (charge coupled device), a COMS (complimentary metal-oxide semiconductor) or the like;
- the electrical signal output from the image sensor 12 is configured to be input and recorded in a recording device (not shown) (for example, a hard disk) housed in the device body 14. .
- a recording device for example, a hard disk housed in the device body 14.
- the imaging device 10 converts an optical image obtained by taking external light from the lens barrel unit 11 into an electrical signal, it is in the presence of a light source (the light source may be the sun, for example). In addition, it is used in the above.
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the lens barrel 1. Specifically, FIG. 2 (a) is a perspective view of the lens barrel 1. FIG. FIG. 2B is a perspective view of a part of the inner peripheral surface la of the lens barrel 1.
- the imaging optical system 13 is designed so that light incident on the imaging optical system 13 is imaged on the image sensor 12.
- a part of the light incident on the imaging optical system 13 such as light having a maximum angle of view of the imaging optical system 13 is not directly imaged on the image pickup device 12 but on the inner peripheral surface la of the lens barrel 1. It will be incident.
- the light reflectance of the inner peripheral surface la of the lens barrel 1 is high, reflected light (stray light) is generated on the inner peripheral surface la, resulting in ghosting. There is a risk of flare and flare.
- the lens barrel 1 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and an antireflection concavo-convex structure (so-called SWS) 15 is formed over the entire inner peripheral surface la.
- the antireflection concavo-convex structure 15 is formed by regularly arranging a plurality of fine linear protrusions 16 extending in parallel with each other in the extending direction of the lens barrel 1 along the circumferential surface.
- the plurality of linear protrusions 16 are arranged at a pitch that is equal to or less than the wavelength of light from the imaging optical system 13 (pitch: distance between the apexes between adjacent linear protrusions 16).
- the lens barrel 1 is configured to absorb light from the imaging optical system 13.
- the lens barrel 1 is configured to include a light absorbing material (for example, a black dye or a black pigment). Therefore, the reflection of incident light on the inner peripheral surface la is effectively suppressed, and the incident light force on the lens barrel 1 is absorbed by the S lens barrel 1 with a high absorption rate. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the generation of stray light caused by reflected light or the like on the inner peripheral surface la. As a result, it is possible to effectively suppress the occurrence of ghosts and flares, and to realize the imaging device 10 having high optical performance.
- the antireflection multilayer film composed of a laminate of a low refractive index film and a high refractive index film on the inner peripheral surface la, reflection on the inner peripheral surface la is also suppressed. Can do.
- the antireflection multilayer film has wavelength dependency. That is, according to the antireflection multilayer film, although reflection of light having a certain wavelength (design wavelength) can be suitably suppressed, reflection of light having a wavelength other than the design wavelength cannot be sufficiently suppressed.
- SWS has the effect of suitably suppressing the reflection of incident light having a wavelength longer than the SWSw pitch, which is less wavelength-dependent than the antireflection multilayer film, regardless of the wavelength of the incident light. Therefore, according to the configuration of the first embodiment, reflection of light of various wavelengths from the imaging optical system 13 can be effectively suppressed regardless of the wavelength.
- the wavelength dependence is relatively small!
- an optical device for example, an imaging device described in the present embodiment, or an optical device (for example, a so-called compatible optical pickup device) that uses a plurality of types of light having different wavelengths. .
- the antireflection multilayer film has an incident angle dependency. Specifically, reflection of light with a relatively small incident angle can be effectively suppressed, but reflection of light with a relatively large incident angle cannot be sufficiently suppressed. For this reason, when an antireflection multilayer film is formed on the inner peripheral surface la, reflection of incident light having a large incident angle cannot be sufficiently suppressed.
- SWS has a lower incidence angle dependency than the antireflection multilayer film.
- SWS has a function of effectively suppressing reflection of light having a relatively small incident angle as well as light having a relatively small incident angle. Therefore, according to the configuration of the first embodiment, it is possible to effectively suppress reflection of light incident on the inner peripheral surface la at a relatively large incident angle. From the viewpoint of more effectively suppressing the reflection of light incident at a relatively large incident angle, the surface serving as the base for forming the antireflection uneven structure 15 on the inner peripheral surface la may be formed on a rough surface.
- the pitch of the antireflection uneven structure 15 is equal to or less than the wavelength of incident light over the entire inner peripheral surface la, the pitch of the antireflection uneven structure 15 extends over the entire inner peripheral surface 1a. It may be substantially constant (ie it may be periodic). Further, the pitch of the antireflection concavo-convex structure 15 may be different from each other at various locations on the inner peripheral surface la. That is, the antireflection uneven structure 15 may be aperiodic. Generation of diffracted light can be effectively suppressed by making the antireflection uneven structure 15 non-periodic.
- the cross-sectional shape of the linear protrusion 16 is not particularly limited as long as it has a shape in which a gentle refractive index distribution is formed on the inner peripheral surface la.
- the linear protrusion 16 has a triangular cross-sectional shape (the top may be chamfered or R-chamfered. Also, at least one of both sides may be constituted by a curve), a dome shape, It may be semicircular or semielliptical.
- the height of the line protrusions 16 (height: the surface force serving as the base of the inner circumferential surface la is also the top of the line protrusions 16).
- the distance to the part is preferably set to 0.4 times or more of the wavelength on the long wavelength side of the wavelength range of incident light. By doing so, it is possible to more effectively suppress the generation of reflected light on the inner peripheral surface la.
- the antireflection concavo-convex structure 15 connects the normal vector of the incident surface of the light incident on the antireflection concavo-convex structure 15 and each vertex of the linear protrusion 16 adjacent to the incident surface.
- this vector may be referred to as a “lattice vector”) in the first embodiment, and the angle is 60 degrees or less.
- the lens barrel 1 is arranged so that the angle between the normal vector of the incident surface of the light incident on the antireflection concavo-convex structure 15 and the lattice vector is ⁇ force 0 degrees or less.
- the maximum pitch of the antireflection concavo-convex structure 15 in which substantially no diffracted light is generated correlates with the angle ⁇ i.
- FIG. 3 shows a correlation between the maximum pitch of the antireflection uneven structure 15 in which substantially no diffracted light is generated, the angle ⁇ formed by the grating beta and the normal vector of the incident surface.
- the curve shown in FIG. 3 represents the maximum pitch of the antireflection uneven structure 15 where diffracted light does not substantially occur. That is, in FIG. 3, when the region is below the curve, substantially no diffracted light is generated.
- the maximum pitch of the antireflection concavo-convex structure 15 that does not substantially generate diffracted light tends to increase as the angle ⁇ decreases.
- the incident light power of a relatively long wavelength tends to be substantially free of diffracted light.
- the maximum pitch of the antireflection concavo-convex structure 15 that does not substantially generate diffracted light is 0.5 times the wavelength of the incident light (as previously known). 1Z2) Less than. That is, in order not to generate diffracted light, the pitch of the antireflection uneven structure 15 must be less than 0.5 times the wavelength of incident light. For example, in Embodiment 1 where visible light is incident on the inner peripheral surface 1a, the pitch must be set to less than about 200 nm. For this reason, it is very difficult to form the antireflection uneven structure 15.
- the maximum pitch of the antireflection uneven structure 15 in which substantially no diffracted light is generated increases. More specifically, the area where the angle ⁇ is 90 degrees and the force is 60 degrees. In FIG. 5, the maximum pitch of the antireflective uneven structure 15 in which diffracted light does not substantially occur with respect to the decrease of the angle ⁇ i does not increase so much. Since the angle ⁇ i becomes less than 60 degrees, the increase rate of the maximum pitch of the antireflection uneven structure 15 in which diffracted light does not substantially occur with respect to the decrease of the angle ⁇ increases rapidly.
- the maximum pitch of the antireflective uneven structure 15 that does not produce diffracted light is substantially larger than when the angle ⁇ force is, It doesn't change that much.
- the amount of increase in the maximum pitch of the antireflection concavo-convex structure 15 in which diffracted light does not substantially occur gradually increases as the angle ⁇ decreases.
- the maximum pitch of the antireflection concavo-convex structure 15 in which substantially no diffracted light is generated is approximately 0.5547 times the wavelength of the incident light.
- the generation of diffracted light can be suppressed by setting the pitch of the anti-reflective structure 15 to less than about 0.5547 times the wavelength of incident light.
- the pitch of the antireflection uneven structure 15 can be increased to about 10% (can be increased by about 1.1 times) than when the angle ⁇ is 90 degrees.
- the pitch of the antireflective uneven structure 15 must be very small and less than 200 nm, but if the angle ⁇ is 60 degrees, The pitch of the antireflection uneven structure 15 can be made relatively large, less than 222 nm. For this reason, formation of the antireflection uneven structure 15 is facilitated.
- the maximum pitch of the anti-reflection concavo-convex structure 15 in which substantially no diffracted light is generated is about 0.6325 times the wavelength of the incident light. That is, the generation of diffracted light can be suppressed by setting the pitch of the antireflection uneven structure 15 to be less than about 0.6325 times the wavelength of the incident light.
- the pitch of the anti-reflective structure 15 can be increased to about 20% compared to the case where the angle ⁇ is 90 degrees (it can be increased to 1.2 times). it can). Specifically, when the incident light is visible light, The pitch can be further increased to less than 253 nm. For this reason, the formation of the antireflection uneven structure 15 is facilitated.
- the maximum pitch of the antireflection concavo-convex structure 15 that does not substantially generate diffracted light can be further increased.
- the maximum pitch of the antireflection uneven structure 15 where substantially no diffracted light is generated is about 0.9125 times the wavelength of the incident light.
- the generation of diffracted light can be suppressed by setting the pitch of the antireflection uneven structure 15 to be less than about 0.9125 times the wavelength of incident light.
- the pitch of the anti-reflective structure 15 can be increased to about 80% compared to the case where the angle ⁇ is 90 degrees (can be increased to 1.8 times).
- the pitch of the antireflection concavo-convex structure 15 can be made relatively large at less than 365 nm. For this reason, the formation of the antireflection uneven structure 15 is facilitated.
- the angle ⁇ is further smaller than 15 degrees, the maximum pitch of the antireflection uneven structure 15 in which substantially no diffracted light is generated increases as the angle ⁇ i becomes smaller as before.
- the rate of increase is smaller than when the angle is 60 degrees or less and less than 15 degrees.
- the pitch of the antireflection uneven structure 15 can only be increased to about 1.1 times that of the angle ⁇ force S15. That is, by setting the angle ⁇ to less than 15 degrees, the pitch of the antireflection uneven structure 15 can be made sufficiently large.
- the angle ⁇ is 60 degrees or less as in the first embodiment, it is possible to realize the lens barrel 1 that does not generate diffracted light and is easy to manufacture.
- a more preferable range of the angle ⁇ is 45 degrees or less. More preferably, it is 15 degrees or less.
- the angle ⁇ is preferably substantially zero.
- the above-described effect can be restated as the following effect.
- the reflection of light having a wavelength of less than 400 nm could not be effectively suppressed in the conventional case.
- the angle between the normal vector of the incident surface of the incident light and the lattice vector reflection of light having a shorter wavelength than 400 nm can be suppressed.
- the production limit pitch is 200 nm
- the angle ⁇ is set to 60 degrees, approximately 360 nm

- the X-direction component and y-direction component of the period ⁇ are expressed by the following formula (3).
- the incident light is in the xz plane.
- the optical path difference on the xz plane needs to be considered for incident light (that is, the optical path difference of incident light in the yz plane is 0 for incident light).
- the optical path difference on the xz plane of incident light is expressed by the following formula (4).
- the diffracted light is not always in the xz plane. For this reason, the optical path difference of the diffracted light needs to be decomposed into a component in the xz plane and a component in the yz plane.
- the optical path difference in the xz plane of diffracted light is given by the following formula (5). [0067] [Equation 5]
- the difference in the optical path difference between the incident light in the yz plane and the diffracted light is the optical path difference force SO of the incident light in the yz plane, and is given by the following formula (7).
