Abstract

See full text

To provide an optical component (phase plate) capable of acquiring an image of a deep depth of field or focal position, and an imaging device using it. What is provided is the optical component that includes multiple ring zones demarcated by multiple concentric circles, and is configured to be rotationally symmetric to a center of the concentric circles. Cross sections of the ring zones on a plane being parallel to a direction perpendicular to the concentric circles and including the center have concave or convex shapes. Each of the concave or convex shapes of the cross sections of the ring zones is asymmetric to a centerline of a width of each of the ring zones in a radial direction of the concentric circles.
