    Abstract: A method fabricates an optical device that includes at least one partially reflecting surface and a light-wave transmitting substrate is fabricated. A plurality of transparent plates is obtained. At least one surface of at least one of the transparent plates is coated with a partially reflecting coating to form the at least one partially reflecting surface. The plates are arranged in a stack and attached to each other. The plates at the opposing ends of the stack are thicker than the remaining plates in the stack. The stack is sliced to form the substrate such that the substrate has two major external surfaces. The substrate is grinded or polished, and at least one of the two major external surfaces is coated with a coating that compensates for non-uniformity of the substrate.
