A method of calibrating an interferometer for determining an optical property of the interferometer uses a calibrating optical arrangement. The calibrating optical arrangement comprises at least one diffractive pattern and a mirror having a reflecting surface. The diffractive pattern and the reflecting surface are disposed at a distance from each other in a beam path of measuring light emitted from an interferometer optics of the interferometer system to be calibrated.

A method of manufacturing an optical system comprises assembling an optical element on a mounting frame thereof. The mounting frame is disposed on a rotary table having an axis of rotation, and the mounting frame is adjusted such that a predefined axis of symmetry thereof is parallel to the axis of rotation.

A method of manufacturing an optical element includes testing the optical element by using an interferometer optics generating a beam of measuring light illuminating only a sub-aperture of the tested optical element.
