Glass microstructures manufactured by room temperature molding

摘要: Abstract We show that a process based on sol–gel chemistry can produce silica glass microstructures which replicate the mold used up to at least micron scale. This technology is characterized by thermomechanical ideal isotropy of intermediates produced. The resulting component reproduces theoretical shape with precision 1/1000. technique an array pyramids. in transmission, noteworthy fact material as such has 85% optical transparency whole spectral range from 185 nm 3200 nm, impurities being mainly ppb level or below. properties be adjusted doping.
