3D‐Printed Holographic Fresnel Lenses

“…The downsides are that they require high-power energy sources, have long operating times, and are complex to set up and operate. Also, they are incompatible with various direct processing materials [25,26,35] and cannot produce precise and repeatable nanostructures on soft polymers. [36,37] Therefore, we offer a more reliable, repeatable, cost-effective, and straightforward fabrication approach integrated with 3D printing to produce microand nanostructures on various polymeric materials, including soft polymers such as hydrogels.…”

Conformable Holographic Photonic Ink Sensors Based on Adhesive Tapes for Strain Measurements

“…Methods such as contact stamping, micro molding, E-beam processing, and ultrashort laser pulse lithography can be used to fabricate nanostructures on a tape [24][25][26] . Nevertheless, these fabrication methods require complex setups, high-energy supplies, multiple steps, high-cost equipment, and long fabrication times 22,27,28 . In addition, there are many laser interference systems that are able to produce nanostructures 29 ; however, they may damage the thin plastic substrates due to their highly-intense pulse beam energy 30 .…”

“…Nevertheless, integrating nanoscale features over the commercial tape represents an essential challenge. Conventional nanofabrication methods are able to form optical structures; however, they are costly and time consuming. − Methods such as contact stamping, micro molding, e-beam processing, and ultrashort laser pulse lithography can be used to fabricate nanostructures on a tape. − Nevertheless, these fabrication methods require complex setups, high-energy supplies, multiple steps, high-cost equipment, and long fabrication times. ,, In addition, there are many laser interference systems that are able to produce nanostructures; however, they may damage the thin plastic substrates due to their highly intense pulse beam energy …”
