Sequential shrink photolithography for plastic microlens arrays.
Endeavoring to push the boundaries of microfabrication with shrinkable polymers, we have developed a sequential shrink photolithography process. We demonstrate the utility of this approach by rapidly fabricating plastic microlens arrays. First, we create a mask out of the children's toy Shrinky Dinks by simply printing dots using a standard desktop printer. Upon retraction of this pre-stressed ...
متن کاملReduction photolithography using microlens arrays: applications in gray scale photolithography.
This paper describes the application of reduction photolithography, using arrays of microlenses and gray scale masks, to generate arrays of micropatterns having multilevel and curved features in photoresist. This technique can fabricate, in a single exposure, three-dimensional microstructures (e.g., nonspherical microlens arrays) over areas of approximately 2 x 2 cm2. The simple optical configu...
متن کاملMicrolens arrays
‡Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies, 600 Mountain Avenue, Murray Hill, NJ 07974, USA E-mail: [email protected] Microlenses are important optical components that image, detect, and couple light. But most synthetic microlenses have fixed position and shape once they are fabricated, so their possible range of tunability and complexity is rather limited. By comparison, biology provides many...
متن کاملPlastic Microlens Arrays by Deep Lithography with Protons: fabrication and characterization
In this paper we focus on the fabrication of individual plastic refractive microlenses with Deep Lithography with Protons (DLP). We give a detailed description of the microlens fabrication technique and the calibration procedure that goes along with it. We highlight the geometrical and optical characteristics of these DLP microlenses and we demonstrate the reproducibility of the fabrication pro...
متن کاملPose Hashing with Microlens Arrays
We design and demonstrate a passive physical object whose appearance changes to give a discrete encoding of its pose. This object is created with a microlens array that is placed on top of a black and white pattern. When viewed from a particular viewpoint, the lenses appear black or white depending on the part of the pattern that each microlens projects towards that viewpoint. We introduce the ...
