    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To considerably improve durability of an optical component so as to solve a deterioration problem of an optical component or to extend its use period. SOLUTION: A finishing method for an optical component made of alkaline earth metal fluoride and the optical component made of alkaline earth manufactured by using the finishing method are provided. The finishing method used for the last polishing process uses polishing slurry made of colloidal silica including silica particles with a particle size of 500 nm or below in particular. Further, this finishing method can remove the whole silica residue on the polished optical component by using a megasonic cleaning process using a high PH-detergent cleaning solution after colloidal silica polishing. Surface roughness of the optical component polished by using the finishing method but is not etched yet is less than 0.5 nm, the surface roughness after polishing and etching is less than 0.6 nm, and step height of the surface roughness is less than 6 nm.
