Abstract

The method provides precise location manufacturing of at least one optical micro=component (10) on or over a predetermined region (40) of a given surface (20) of an optical device. At least one image of the given surface (20) is recorded and stored. The position of the edge of the surface (35) is measured at several predetermined points (62,64,66,68) and the corresponding edge coordinates are determined. The position coordinates of the optical microcomponent (10) within the given surface are calculated from the determined edge coordinates and the measured position coordinates of the given region. The calculated position coordinates are combined with pre-programmed illumination data for the optical component into a data set. This data set is used to control a corpuscular beam such that the optical component can be formed with a predetermined optical properties precisely aligned on or over the given region (40).
