Abstract
An optical device is manufactured by providing a disc-shaped body of a light-conducting material on a plane surface of a disc-shaped carrier body, grinding the light-conducting material mechanically to a thickness which exceeds the desired ultimate layer thickness by at least 50 .mu.m, subjecting the light-conducting material to alternate tribochemical and mechanical polishing treatments until a thickness is obtained which exceeds the desired ultimate layer thickness by approximately 10 .mu.m, and subsequently polishing the light-conductor body tribochemically until the desired layer thickness is obtained.
