ABSTRACT:
A diffractive optical element emits substantially zero order diffracted light when light with a wavelength of 0.35 μm to 0.45 μm is incident and emits substantially first-order diffracted light when light with a wavelength of 0.6 μm to 0.7 μm is incident. The diffractive optical element includes a substrate and a grating portion formed on the substrate. The grating portion has a step-wise cross section with any one of levels selected from four levels, five levels and six levels. The diffractive optical element emits substantially zero-order diffracted light when light with a first wavelength λ1 satisfying the relationship: 0.35 μm≦λ1≦0.45 μm is incident and emits substantially first-order diffracted light when light with a second wavelength λ2 satisfying the relationship: 0.6 μm≦λ2≦0.7 μm is incident.
