Abstract:
1. An imaging photodetection device, comprising: a plurality of photodetectors that are arrayed on a substrate at least along a first direction; a transparent low refractive index layer that is formed above the plurality of photodetectors; and a plurality of columnar or plate-like transparent high refractive index sections that are embedded in the transparent low refractive index layer along the first direction; wherein central axes of the transparent high refractive index sections are bent stepwise on a cross-section of the transparent high refractive index sections orthogonal to the substrate and along the first direction, wherein light that enters the transparent low refractive index layer and one of the plurality of transparent high refractive index sections passes therethrough to be separated into 0 the 0
