PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method for manufacturing an optical device by which cycle time of molding of the optical device is shortened while suppressing the heat loss from the outer periphery of a mold. SOLUTION: The optical device manufacturing apparatus 1 comprising heating means (2b, 2d, 3b, 3d, 4b, 4d) for heating the mold 7 in which an optical device material 6 is arranged and press means (2, 3, 4)for pressing the mold 7 is provided with cover members 8, 9 covering the outer periphery of the mold 7 in the heating of the mold 7 and moving aside in the cooling of the mold 7. The cover members 8, 9 are preferably structured to cover even the outer periphery of the heating means (2b, 2d, 3b, 3d, 4b, 4d) in the heating of the mold 7. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
