Method for manufacturing optical component, and optical component

Abstract

Disclosed are a method for manufacturing an optical component having desired optical characteristics, and the optical component having the desired optical characteristics. An optical functional film (33) is formed by means of a vapor deposition method, while rotating a ball lens (32) about a second center axis (C2), which is the center axis that rotates about a first center axis (C1), and which is tilted with respect to the first center axis (C1).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a manufacturing method of an optical component and an optical component. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, an optical member having a spherical lens is known as one type of optical member used in the field of optical communication or the like for concentrating light or the like. In such an optical component, in order to suppress a decrease in light transmittance due to reflection of light on the surface of the ball lens, an optically functional film such as a reflection suppressing film is generally formed on the surface of the ball lens. [0003] However, since a spherical lens has a very large curvature compared with a normal lens, it is difficult to form an optically functional film on the surface of a spherical lens. [0004] In view of such circumstances, various methods of forming an optically functional film on the surface of a spherical lens are proposed in the following patent documents 1 to 3 and ...
