A reflecting optical element is disclosed which includes the following articles. The reflecting optical element is constituted by: a base member having a continuous curved-surface portion, and a resin layer integrally formed of resin on the curved surface of the base member, and having a plurality of mutually discontinuous curved surfaces to be reflecting surfaces. The base member is made of a material smaller in coefficient of linear expansion than the resin for forming the resin layer. Thus, a reflecting optical element is provided which is low in optical-performance deterioration caused by the temperature effect, and small in the number of restraints in fabrication. <IMAGE> |
