Abstract

An anti-reflection film is arranged by alternately stacking a plurality of high-refractive index layers containing Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 and a plurality of low-refractive index layers containing SiO.sub.2 on a transparent substrate in turn from the substrate side to the air side, and satisfies: PA1 1.45.ltoreq.ns.ltoreq.1.65 PA1 1.60.ltoreq.na.ltoreq.1.85 PA1 0.31.lambda.0.ltoreq.d1.ltoreq.0.42.lambda.0 PA1 0.38.lambda.0.ltoreq.d2.ltoreq.0.45.lambda.0 PA1 0.20.lambda.0.ltoreq.d3.ltoreq.0.31.lambda.0 PA1 0.18.lambda.0.ltoreq.d4.ltoreq.0.28.lambda.0 PA1 0.20.lambda.0.ltoreq.d5.ltoreq.0.30.lambda.0 PA1 0.20.lambda.0.ltoreq.d6.ltoreq.0.30.lambda.0 where ns and na are the refractive indices of the low-refractive index layer and the high-refractive index layer for light components falling with the wavelength range from 190 nm to 250 nm, di (unit: nm) is the optical film thickness of the i-th layer when the high- and low-refractive index layers are counted from the substrate side to the air side, and .lambda.0 (nm) is the reference wavelength within the wavelength range from 190 nm to 250 nm.
