Abstract
Description
図1に、本実施形態に係る回折光学素子10の概略断面図を示す。
次に、本実施形態に係る回折光学素子10の製造方法について説明する。
本実施形態の回折光学素子10では、第2面17の傾斜角度θは、回折面13の領域に応じて異なる角度で形成されているので、割れやすい領域の傾斜角度θを相対的に大きくすることができる。詳しくは、プレス成形後の冷却工程において、回折光学素子10は収縮する。回折光学素子10は、光軸X方向よりも半径方向に寸法が大きい形状をしているので、各凸部15は、収縮時に光軸X方向よりも半径方向へ大きく変位する。このとき、回折光学素子10の凸部15は上型21の凸部と噛合しているため、凸部15の半径方向への移動は該上型21の凸部に拘束される。そのため、凸部15には半径方向外側への力が作用する。ここで、凸部15の稜部(即ち、先端部)は強度が弱いため、割れが生じ易い。また、隣接する凸部15,15で形成される凹部の谷底部には応力が集中し易いため、この部分にも割れが生じ易い。そして、上記収縮量は、回折光学素子10の中央領域に比べて外側領域の方が大きい。そのため、回折光学素子10の外側領域ほど、前述の部分に割れが生じ易い。それに対して、本実施形態では、第2面17の傾斜角度θを外側領域ほど大きくしている。第2面17を光軸Xに対して傾斜させることによって、上型21の凸部からの半径方向外側への力を光軸方向へも分散させることができる。それによって、回折光学素子10の凸部15の割れを抑制することができる。さらに、光軸方向へ分散させた力は、回折光学素子10と上型21とを離型させる力として作用するため、その点においても有利である。
