Abstract: A method is provided for producing an optical member. The method includes removing a portion of a low refractive index layer, which is the outermost layer of a multilayer structure in which the low refractive index layer and a high refractive index layer are layered on each other. Non-heating processing is performed on an antireflection film that is formed to cover an optical surface of an optical base member and has the multilayer structure, through irradiation with an ultrashort pulse laser beam, so as to expose the high refractive index layer.

Abstract: A method for producing a spectacle lens from a lens material and includes: a marking step of marking an identification mark for identifying the spectacle lens, and a processing information mark which is used to process a lens blank and includes a tray identification 2D code, a tray identification code, a shape line and a position mark by forming a hole or a groove in a convex surface of the lens material by laser; and a concave surface machining processing step of reading the processing information mark, and machining a concave surface of the lens blank based on the read processing information mark.

Abstract: Provided is a technique by which an optical member is marked without degrading the quality of the optical member. The optical member is produced through a removing step (S108, S113) of partially removing a low refractive index layer, which is the outermost layer of a multilayer structure in which the low refractive index layer and a high refractive index layer are layered on each other, by performing non-heating processing on an antireflection film that is formed to cover an optical surface of an optical base member and has the multilayer structure, through irradiation with an ultrashort pulse laser beam so as to expose the high refractive index layer.

Abstract: A film forming step of forming a thin film on an optical surface of an optical substrate, the optical surface having a curved surface shape, and a removal step of partially removing the thin film on the optical surface to perform patterning of the thin film. In the removal step, the thin film is removed by being irradiated with a laser beam.
