Noncontact Microembossing Technology for Fabricating Thermoplastic Optical Polymer Microlens Array Sheets
Thermoplastic optical polymers have replaced traditional optical glass for many applications, due to their superior optical performance, mechanical characteristics, low cost, and efficient production process. This paper investigates noncontact microembossing technology used for producing microlens arrays made out of PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), PS (polyStyrene), and PC (polycarbonate) from a...
متن کاملElectrowetting on a polymer microlens array.
This paper reports on the electrowetting behavior of a flexible poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) microlens array. A Cr and Au double-layered electrode was formed on an array of microlenses with diameters of 10 microm and heights of 13 microm. A deposition of parylene and a coating of Teflon were followed for electrical insulation as well as for enhancement of the hydrophobicity. On the nearly supe...
متن کاملA new method for fabricating high density and large aperture ratio liquid microlens array.
Conventional liquid microlens arrays are facing bottlenecks in controlling droplet size and shape, and limited aperture ratio. We report a new liquid/solvent approach to overcome these obstacles for making uniform droplet array and achieving approximately 90% aperture ratio. The droplets are very stable due to the pinning effect of the polymer walls and substrate surfaces. Using the fabricated ...
متن کاملOptical Characterization of Doped Thermoplastic and Thermosetting Polymer-Optical-Fibers
The emission properties of a graded-index thermoplastic polymer optical fiber and a step-index thermosetting one, both doped with rhodamine 6G, have been studied. The work includes a detailed analysis of the amplified spontaneous emission together with a study of the optical gains and losses of the fibers. The photostability of the emission of both types of fibers has also been investigated. Co...
متن کاملMicrolens array induced light absorption enhancement in polymer solar cells.
Over the last decade, polymer solar cells (PSCs) have attracted a lot of attention and highest power conversion efficiencies (PCE) are now close to 10%. Here we employ an optical structure - the microlens array (MLA) - to increase light absorption inside the active layer, and PCE of PSCs increased even for optimized devices. Normal incident light rays are refracted at the MLA and travel longer ...
