Method for manufacturing optical surfaces for the production of assemblies capable of rearranging one or more light beams

摘要

The method involves positioning elementary pieces (12) with respect to each other. A spatially continuous surface on an assembly (22) of the elementary pieces is polished, where the surface is in the shape of concave, convex, spherical or aspherical. The elementary pieces are arranged such that geometrical properties of the elementary pieces facilitate positioning of the pieces during polishing operation and repositioning during assembling operation. The pieces are made of material such as glass, ceramics, silicon carbide or metals.
