Abstract: Disclosed are a mirror unit and a method of producing the same. In one preferred embodiment, the mirror unit includes a mirror with a multilayered film formed on a substrate, the multilayered film having two materials periodically laminated in layers on the substrate, and a substrate deforming device for producing deformation of a shape of the substrate of the mirror, wherein, in the multilayered film, the number of laminated layers in a predetermined region of the substrate differs from that in another region of the substrate. A mirror unit producing method according to another preferred embodiment includes forming a multilayered film on a substrate, the multilayered film having two materials periodically laminated in layers on the substrate, providing substrate deforming means in association with the substrate, the deforming means having a function for producing deformation of the shape of the substrate, and partially removing the multilayered film.
