Ask HN: Looking for resources to understand Optics Manufacturing

Hello,

I'm looking for some kind of guide, ideally similar to http://edge.rit.edu/content/P12056/public/Part%20and%20Mold%20Design.pdf, covering manufacturing optical components such as lenses and prisms.

I'm a total noob to this, but the product I'm building has an optical component. While I have an optics expert helping me out, I'd like to understand what's involved in manufacturing of these components and what kinds of questions I should be asking.

Does anyone have resources they can share?

Thank you
