1. A process for producing a transparent optical element, comprising the following steps:
- producing an optical component having at least one transparent array of cells that are juxtaposed parallel to one surface of the component, each cell having dimensions between 100 μ
m and 500 μ
m parallel to the surface of the component and being hermetically sealed and containing a substance having an optical property; and
cutting the optical component along a defined contour on said surface, corresponding to a predetermined shape of the optical element.

Abstract
The invention concerns a method for making a transparent optical element (11), which consists in first producing an optical component (10) having at least a transparent assembly of cells (15) juxtaposed parallel to a surface of the component, each cell being hermetically sealed and containing a substance with optical property. Said optical component is then cut out along the contour defined on its surface, corresponding to a shape specific for the optical element. The cells of the assembly have dimensions ranging between 100 μm and 500 μm parallel to the surface of the component.
