Micromolding
Nanomolding

The demand for micro-lenses is changing from mm to microns. Problems of crosstalk and the final assembly are becoming more difficult. Applications include refractive or diffractive lenses, reflectors, Bragg gratings, interferometers, fiber-optics, optical attenuators, polarizers, compensators, rotators, splitters and combiners. Jacobowitz et al have developed a wafer-scale apparatus based on a mold plate of micro-cavities formed by reactive ion etching and filled by an automated fluid-injection and defect-inspection system. Candidate resins include epoxies, acrylics, cycloolefins, polycarbonates, and polyimides.
