A method for manufacturing an optical device comprising providing a plurality of initials bars each having a first side face presented with a first optical component arrangement; positioning the initial bars in a row with their first side faces facing a neighboring one of the initial bars; fixing the initial bars to obtain a bar arrangement; obtaining prism bars by segmenting the bar arrangement by at least one of the steps: conducting a plurality of cuts so that each prism bar comprises a portion of at least two different ones of the initial bars, separating the bar arrangement into sections along cut lines or by creating cut faces at an angle with initial-bar directions; dividing the first optical component arrangement for obtaining a plurality of passive optical components, wherein each prism bar comprises one or more passive optical components comprising a first reflective face each which is of non-planar shape; segmenting prism bars into parts.
