We present the first detailed study of the stellar populations ofstar-forming galaxies at z~1.5, which are selected by their [O II] emissionline, detected in narrow-band surveys. We identified ~1,300 [O II] emitters atz=1.47 and z=1.62 in the Subaru Deep Field with rest-frame EWs above 13\AA.Optical and near-infrared spectroscopic observations for ~10% of our samplesshow that our separation of [O II] from [O III] emission-line galaxies intwo-color space is 99% successful. We analyze the multi-wavelength propertiesof a subset of ~1,200 galaxies with the best photometry. They have averagerest-frame EW of 45\AA, stellar mass of 3 x 10^9 M_sun, and stellar age of 100Myr. In addition, our SED fitting and broad-band colors indicate that [O II]emitters span the full range of galaxy populations at z~1.5. We also find that80% of [O II] emitters are also photometrically classified as "BX/BM" (UV)galaxies and/or the star-forming "BzK" (near-IR) galaxies. Our [O II] emissionline survey produces a far more complete, and somewhat deeper sample of z~1.5galaxies than either the BX/BM or sBzK selection alone. We constructed averageSEDs and find that higher [O II] EW galaxies have somewhat bluer continua. SEDmodel-fitting shows that they have on average half the stellar mass of galaxieswith lower [O II] EW. The observed [O II] luminosity is well-correlated withthe far-UV continuum with a logarithmic slope slightly 0f 0.89\pm0.22. Thescatter of the [O II] luminosity against the far-UV continuum suggests that [OII] can be used as a SFR indicator with a reliability of 0.23 dex.
