  • Patent number: 9261631
    Abstract: A diffraction grating excellent in surface precision and allowing its miniaturization and weight reduction and a method for manufacturing the same. The present invention includes: a glass substrate having a thickness of 0.5 mm to 8 mm; a resin-made microstructure body having an unevenness pattern and formed on one surface of the glass substrate; and a flat resin layer formed on the other surface of the glass substrate. Even if the glass substrate has surface precision of ?/2 or greater, the replica of the diffraction grating, in which the microstructure body is not influenced by the surface precision of the glass substrate and which is excellent in surface precision, can be manufactured by the flatness of the resin layer. In addition, since the glass substrate can be made thin, the miniaturization and weight reduction of the diffraction grating can be achieved.
