Abstract
An optical component includes: a multilayer inorganic thin-film on a substrate, wherein the inorganic thin-film is formed by laminating a plurality of layers made of silicon oxide and a plurality of layers made of metal oxide, the metal oxide is metal oxide containing any one of zirconium, tantalum, and titanium, the layers made of silicon oxide include a low-density silicon oxide layer and a high-density silicon oxide layer having a density higher than the low-density silicon oxide layer, the outermost layer of the inorganic thin-film is the low-density silicon oxide layer, and the surface roughness of the outermost layer of the inorganic thin-film is equal to or greater than 0.55 nm and equal to or smaller than 0.7 nm.
