The second member is installed at one optical surface of the first member to form a first diffraction pattern on the surface and a first ultraviolet curable resin(100A) having a refraction index in a range of ±0.013 for the refraction index of the first member. The third member is mounted on the other optical surface of the first member to form a second diffraction element on the surface and a second ultraviolet curable resin(100B) having the refraction index in the range of ±0.013 for the refraction index of the first member.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To mass-produce a molded product of high accuracy. SOLUTION: A temporary mold for manufacturing a standard mold is manufactured and a temporary object lens is actually molded using this temporary mold to be optically evaluated. When the optical evaluation of the temporary object lens is good, the shape evaluation and parameter setting of the standard mold are performed using an aspheric surface prescribing formula (1) due to a first measuring instrument α and this parameter value is used to determine a standard mold programming formula (2) for the surface shape of the standard mold. Further, the shape evaluation of the standard mold and the setting of the parameter value of an evaluation formula due to a second measuring instrument β are performed to determine a temporary mass-production mold evaluation formula (3). Then, the temporary mass-production mold is manufactured by inputting the parameter value of the formula (2) to a processor and the shape shift thereof is evaluated. When the evaluation value is within an allowable range, the temporary mass-production mold is set as a mass-production mold and this mold is used in the mass-production of the object lens.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To avoid a fault apt to be caused in an adhering process by integrally constituting a lens and a holding body made of synthetic resin material which holds the peripheral part of the lens in a lens bobbin to dispense with the adhering process adhering the lens with respect to the holding body. SOLUTION: A lens 1 and a holding body 2 made of synthetic resin material which holds the peripheral part of the lens 1 are integrally constituted by an insert molding. Material of the lens 1 is made to be material whose heat resistance temp. is higher than the molding temp. of the synthetic resin material making the holding body 2. Then, it is not needed for the lens 1 to provide a part for exclusively positing and holding the lens 1 like a flange part protruded at the peripheral part. Here, a through hole 3 for allowing a luminous flux to be made incident on the lens 1 to pass is formed in the holding body 2. Moreover, the lens 1 is held by the holding body 2 in a state where the outer peripheral part of the lens 1 is entered the inner wall part of the through hole 3 a little and the through hole 3 is closed.
