Method of forming articles including waveguides via capillary micromolding and microtransfer molding

摘要: Chemically or biochemically active agents other species are patterned on a substrate surface by providing micromold having contoured and forming, surface, chemically agent fluid precursor of structure. A also can be transferred from indentations in an applicator to surface. The planar non-planar. Fluid precursors polymeric structures, inorganic ceramics salts, the like used form articles, salts ceramics, reactive ion etch masks, etc. at articles formed pattern including portion lateral dimension less than about 1 millimeter smaller. indentation transfer separate, distinct isolated regions Waveguide arrays, combinatorial chemical biochemical libraries, made. Differences refractive index waveguide cladding created subjecting cladding, made identical prepolymeric material, different polymerization cross-linking conditions. Interferometers defined coupling arrays waveguides, where controlled altering difference between any desired location array. Alteration photochemically, chemically, like. Sensors disclosed, sensors.
