ABSTRACT:
A method of manufacturing an optical element having an optical surface extending close to a periphery of a substrate comprises: providing a substrate having a main surface extending beyond a periphery of the optical surface and also performing a polishing of the optical surface in regions of the main surface extending beyond the optical surface. Thereafter, material of the substrate carrying a portion of the surface extending beyond the optical surface is removed.
