- the first and second lens arrays 101A and 102A constituting the lens array stacked body 103 are formed in a rectangular plate shape by laminating the first and second lens arrays 101 and 102 and then cutting the periphery thereof.
- a rectangular plate shape can be obtained by cutting the periphery of the first and second lens arrays 101 and 102 before the lens arrays 101 and 102 are stacked.
- the lens array 111 shown in FIG. 7 is a glass lens from which the peripheral portion of the first lens array 101 shown in FIG. 3 has been removed.
- This lens array 111 is in a state in which a cross-shaped connecting portion 101c is left on the center side, but is a square plate columnar member as a whole, and has a rectangular outline when viewed from the optical axis OA direction.
- the lens array 111 has step portions 10a and 10b on the front and back sides at four corners. For this reason, when carrying the lens array 111 etc., it can prevent that serious damage generate

- the first lens element 11 has step portions 10a and 10b on the front and back sides at the four corners. For this reason, when conveying the 1st lens element 11, it can prevent that serious damage generate
- the second lens element 12 shown in FIG. 1A and the like is also manufactured by the same method as the first lens element 11 described above.
- the first lens element 11 and the second lens element 12 cut out individually in this way are aligned and overlapped with the diaphragm 15 in between, and formed between the four stepped portions 10b and 10d formed at that time. By being filled with resin, they are bonded together to form an integrated lens group 10.
- FIG. 8 shows the configuration or structure of the first and second lens arrays 101 and 102 constituting the lens array laminate 100. Both lens arrays 101 and 102 are joined while being positioned by alignment members 101i and 102j.
- the alignment member 101 i is a quadrangular columnar concave member
- the alignment member 102 j is a quadrangular columnar convex member.
- the place where the alignment members 101i and 102j are provided is not limited to the portion of the connecting portion 100c existing on the axis AX as shown in the figure, but can be the portion of the connecting portion 100c existing in the peripheral portion. It can be a plurality of places in the portion 100c.
- FIG. 9 shows the configuration of the first and second lens arrays 101 and 102 constituting the lens array laminate 100.
- the lens array 101 is formed with a stepped portion 10a at the connecting portion 101c
- the lens array 102 is formed with a stepped portion 10c at the connecting portion 102c.
- excess adhesive in the adhesive 16 may flow to the side surfaces of the lens arrays 101 and 102.
- it is not necessary to prepare an extra adhesive and the adhesive strength can be maintained.
- the stepped portion is not concave as shown in FIGS. 10a and 10b, and may have a convex shape. Even in this case, if there are the flange surfaces 11g and 12g of the lens arrays 101 and 102 and the convex stepped portions formed at the corners, the expansion of the cracks is prevented, so that they protrude toward the periphery. Serious damage from the corners toward the optical surfaces 11d, 12d, etc. is unlikely to occur.
- optical element manufacturing method and the like according to the present embodiment have been described above, the optical element manufacturing method and the like according to the present invention are not limited to those described above.
- shape and size of the optical surfaces 11d, 11e, 12d, and 12e can be changed as appropriate according to the application and function.
- the group lens 10 is not limited to the case where it is constituted by only the first and second lens elements 11 and 12, but can be constituted by three or more lens elements. What is necessary is just to provide a level
- the assembled lens 10 does not have to be a square column shape, and can be a rectangular column shape. In this case as well, for example, a stepped portion may be provided on the tops of the eight outer shapes.
- the first and second lens arrays 101 and 102 do not need to have a disk shape, and can have various contours such as an ellipse.
- the dicing process can be simplified by forming the first and second lens arrays 101 and 102 into a square plate shape from the beginning as shown in FIGS.
- the number of the first and second lens elements 11 and 12 formed in the first and second lens arrays 101 and 102 is not limited to four, and may be two or more.
- the arrangement of the first and second lens elements 11 and 12 is preferably on a lattice point for convenience of dicing.
- the interval between the adjacent lens elements 11 and 12 is not limited to the illustrated one, and can be set as appropriate in consideration of workability and the like.
- the steps formed on the tops of the outer shapes of the assembled lens 10, the lens array laminate 103, the lens arrays 101, 102, etc. are not limited to eight locations, but may be limited to, for example, four locations that are easily hit by other members.
- the layer thickness of the adhesive 16 can also be adjusted by further adjusting the amount of steps in the step portions 10a, 10b, 10c, and 10d.
- the marks MA formed on the lens elements 11 and 12 are not limited to those shown in the drawings, and are not limited to information on the positions in the lens arrays 101 and 102, but may include various characteristics including lens characteristics and history. Information can be retained.
- the mark MA can be formed not only on one side of the lens elements 11 and 12 but also on both sides, and can also be formed on all the steps at the four corners.
- the lens arrays 101 and 102 are formed by pressing molten glass by pressing.
- the lens arrays 101 and 102 can also be formed by softening the glass lump and performing processing / transfer (reheat pressing). .
