摘要:
Optical microstructures, such as microlenses, are fabricated by rotating a cylindrical platform that includes a radiation sensitive layer thereon, about its axis, while simultaneously axially rastering a laser beam across at least a portion of the radiation sensitive layer. The cylindrical platform is also simultaneously translated axially while it is being rotated. The amplitude of the laser beam is continuously varied while rastering. The optical microstructures that are imaged in the radiation sensitive layer can be developed to provide a master for replicating a microlenses.
摘要:
Microlens sheets include a first array of anamorphic micolenses on a face of a substrate. The microlenses in the first array are defined by a first parametric model along a direction of the first array. A second array of anamorphic micolenses is also provided on the face of the substrate, and interspersed with the first array. The microlenses in the second array are defined by a second parametric model that is different from the first parametric model, along the direction of the first array.
摘要:
Microstructures (132) are fabricated by impinging a radiation beam (120), such as a laser beam, through a substrate that is transparent to the laser beam, into a negative photoresist layer (110) on the substrate. The negative photoresist layer may be subsequently developed to provide a master for optical and/or mechanical microstructures. Related systems, microstructure products and microstructure masters also are disclosed.
摘要:
Microstructures are fabricated by imaging a microstructure master blank that includes a radiation sensitive layer (2320) sandwiched between a pair of outer layers (2310, 2330), on an imaging platform (2500), to define the microstructures in the radiation sensitive layer. At least one of the outer layers is then removed. The microstructures that were defined in the radiation sensitive layer are developed. The radiation sensitive layer sandwiched between the pair of outer layers may be fabricated as webs, to provide microstructure master blanks.
