Fabrication of micro-optical devices by self-guiding photopolymerization in the near IR

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Micropillars and microlenses, integrated at the end of optical fibers, were fabricated by microfabrication by direct photopolymerization in the near-IR (NIR) region (700950nm). They were built by self-guiding polymerization using the NIR-light emerging from the optical fiber. The aim is to demonstrate that photopolymer material can be used to fabricate micro-optical devices by a single step process utilizing NIR activation. The material and process described here fulfill the requirements for a simple and fast implementation of micro-optics onto NIR sources.
