OPTICAL ELEMENT, OPTICAL PICK-UP DEVICE, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING OPTICAL ELEMENT

摘要

An optical element capable of suppressing reduction in light resistance and bleed-out of light stabilizers caused from exposure to 380 nm to 420 nm laser light. The optical element is used in an optical pick-up device employing a light source firing a 380 nm to 420 nm laser light beam, and is provided with a shaped part (50) comprised of alicyclic olefin resin, and a light stabilizer layer (55) formed on the surface of the shaped part (50).
