Optical element, optical device, and method of producing optical element
View Patent ↗An optical element includes an optical film; a substrate; and an adhesive layer disposed between the optical film and the substrate, wherein the adhesive layer is made of NbO x , where 0<x<2.5.
1. An optical element comprising:
an optical film including a bottom sublayer;
a substrate; and
an adhesive layer disposed between the optical film and the substrate,
wherein the adhesive layer is made of NbO X , where 0<x <2.5, wherein the adhesive layer is in contact with the bottom sublayer and the substrate, and wherein the bottom sublayer is composed of a SnO 2 sublayer.
2. The optical element according to claim 1 ,
wherein surfaces of the adhesive layer are in contact with the optical film and the substrate, and
the substrate and the optical film are integrated with each other, with the adhesive layer therebetween.
3. The optical element according to claim 1 ,
wherein the optical film is an anti-reflection layer in which a plurality of sublayers having different refractive indices are stacked,
the substrate and the bottom sublayer are integrated with each other, with the adhesive layer therebetween.
4. The optical element according to claim 1 ,
wherein a high-refractive-index sublayer having a refractive index higher than that of the bottom sublayer is provided on the bottom sublayer, and
a low-refractive-index sublayer having a refractive index lower than that of the bottom sublayer is provided on the high-refractive-index sublayer.
5. The optical element according to claim 4 ,
wherein the low-refractive-index sublayer is selected from the group consisting of a SiO 2 sublayer, a MgF 2 sublayer, an A 1 F 3 sublayer, and a CaF 2 sublayer, and
the high-refractive-index sublayer is selected from the group consisting of a Nb 2 O 5 sublayer, a TiO 2 sublayer, a ZrO 2 sublayer, a ZnO sublayer, a Ta 2 O 5 sublayer, a CeO 2 sublayer, an Y 2 O 3 sublayer, a La 2 O 3 sublayer, a HfO 2 sublayer, a MoO 2 sublayer, and a WO 3 sublayer.
6. An optical device comprising:
an optical element, the optical element including:
an optical film including a bottom sublayer;
a substrate; and
an adhesive layer disposed between the optical film and the substrate,
wherein the adhesive layer is made of NbO X , where 0<x <2.5, wherein the adhesive layer is in contact with the bottom sublayer and the substrate, and wherein the bottom sublayer is composed of a SnO 2 sublayer.
