An optical device includes first and second laminated films of alternate
layers of optical thin films of high refractivity material and low
refractivity material, and having an optical film thicknesses of "a" and
"b" respectively; wherein b>a, and an optical plate on which the first
laminated film and the second laminated film are formed in sequence from
at least one primary surface of the optical plate, wherein a third
laminated film comprised of a lamination of optical thin films of high
refractivity material and low refractivity material and having an optical
film thickness "c" is interposed between the first laminated film and the
second laminated film, wherein b>c>a. As a result, an optical
device which has spectral characteristics where ripple in the opaque zone
which blocks infrared light is suppressed, can be obtained.
