    Abstract: Embodiments herein provide for a method of determining an optical device modulation transfer function (MTF). The method described herein includes projecting a first instance of an image from a light engine to a detector. The first instance of the image is analyzed to determine a first function. A first fast Fourier transform (FFT) or a first MTF of the first function is obtained. The method further includes projecting a second instance of the image from the light engine to detector via one or more optical devices. The second instance of the image is analyzed to determine a second function. A second FFT or a second MTF is obtained of the second function. An optical device MTF of the one or more optical devices is determined by comparing the first FFT and the second FFT or by comparing the first MTF and the second MTF.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to methods for fabricating optical devices. One embodiment of the method includes disposing a structure material layer on a surface of a substrate and disposing a patterned photoresist over the structure material layer. The patterned photoresist has at least one device portion and at least one auxiliary portion. Each device portion and each auxiliary portion exposes unmasked portions of the structure material layer. The unmasked portions of structure material layer corresponding to each device portion and each auxiliary portion are etched. The etching the unmasked portions forms at least one optical device having device structures corresponding to the unmasked portions of at least one device portion and at least one auxiliary region having auxiliary structures corresponding to the unmasked portions of at least one auxiliary portion.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for curing a substrate are described. The apparatus includes a curing apparatus with a casing and an ultraviolet (UV) radiation assembly coupled to the casing. The ultraviolet radiation assembly further includes a line UV radiation source. The casing includes an opening on one end. A substrate passes by the opening and is exposed to the UV radiation of the line UV radiation source. The curing apparatus further includes a purge assembly configured to continuously purge the process volume and the volume directly above the exposed portion of the substrate. The curing apparatus is configured to only cure a portion of the substrate at any one point in time, such that the curing apparatus is a scanning curing apparatus and includes a small process volume.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide for methods of forming optical device structures. The methods utilize rotation of a substrate, to have the optical device structures formed thereon, and tunability of etch rates of a patterned resist disposed over the substrate and one of a device layer or the substrate to form the optical device structures without multiple lithographic patterning steps and angled etch steps.
