Replicated microstructures with optical functions in solar and display applications

Fabrication Approaches for Generating Complex Micro- and Nanopatterns on Polymeric Surfaces

“…IL can be scaled up to pattern fields as large as 1 m. 2 However, IL is limited to the fabrication of periodic structures and combinations thereof. 103…”

DUV Interferometry for Micro and Nanopatterned Surfaces

“…It is not possible to mention here all the applications of gratings that could be provided by means of DUV laser interferometry. The most important ones are probably linked to spectroscopy, especially for high resolution spectrometers for astronomy (Heilmann et al, 2004), low-loss polarisers, grating for laser pulses shortening, motion sensors, displays (Braun, 2002), microlasers (Wegmann, 1998;Schon, 2000), white light processing like antireflective (Gombert et al, 2004) or diffusing surfaces (Menez et al, 2008), and in the solar cell technology (light concentrators (Karp et al, 2010), and Sub-Wavelength Gratings SWG (Y. Kanamori et al, 2005)).…”

Lasing mechanisms in organic photonic crystal lasers with two-dimensional distributed feedback

“…This setup allows homogeneous structure generation on large areas for applications such as antireflective coatings or light management. 7 At Fraunhofer ISE, areas of up to 1 m 2 can be fabricated this way. Large area fabrication combined with replication leads to the possibility of low cost lasers.…”
