Optical filter, production method for this optical filter and optical device using this optical filter and housing structure for this optical filter

摘要

An optical low pass filter is constituted by a quartz birefringent plate a quarter wavelength plate and a quartz birefringent plate layered in that order. Curved chamfered portions are formed at a periphery of an outgoing light surface (main surface) of one of the quartz birefringent plates. A curve chamfering width of a main surface side is smaller than that of a side surface side.
