Abstract

The purpose of the technology disclosed in the present specification is to inhibit occurrence of comatic aberration. This diffraction grating has a body, a reflection surface, and a plurality of grating grooves. The reflection surface is formed on the surface of the body. The reflection surface is provided in a recess surface shape. The grating grooves are formed on the reflection surface. The grating grooves are arranged along the reflection surface such that intervals are narrowed from a first edge of the reflection surface toward a second edge opposite to the first edge. The grating grooves extend along the reflection surface in a direction orthogonal to the arrangement direction of the grating grooves. The grating grooves have triangular cross-sectional shapes in cross sections perpendicular to the extending direction of the grating grooves. The closer the grating grooves are to the first edge, the smaller the widths of the grating grooves in the arrangement direction are. The closer the adjacent grating grooves are to the first edge, the greater the differences in width between the adjacent grating grooves are.
