Micro-Replication

Replicating a micro-optic master into a polymer material.

VIAVI has capabilities for replicating a micro-optic master into a polymer material using a “cast-and-cure” approach that may be used as is or can be later used as a mask for etching, depending on the application requirements.

Our micro-replication process maintains the fidelity of the original master and provides the means to large volume manufacturing at reduced cost.

Micro-Replication

We routinely replicate from our resist, metal, and glass masters with a variety of depths (over 100 microns) and feature sizes (from submicron to several mm’s).
