Abstract
A method for producing an optical element includes: providing a substrate (), applying a layer system (), wherein an optically effective surface () is formed and wherein the layer system has a layer () that is thermally deformable for manipulating the geometric shape of the optically effective surface, and applying a temperature field to the optical element while at least regionally heating the thermally deformable layer to above a specified operating temperature of the optical system. The thermally deformable layer is configured such that a deformation that is induced when the temperature field is applied is at least partially maintained after the optical element has cooled. Also disclosed is an optical element () that has an optically effective surface (), a substrate (), and a layer system () that has a reflection layer system (), which includes a shape-memory alloy.
