Abstract

Micro Lens arraysLens array are widely used in optical devices such as photo-sensors, digital projectors, photovoltaic cells, 3D imaging etc. These have traditionally been fabricated by photolithography, moulding and embossing, reactive ion etching and electroforming. These processes are wet processes and require expensive setup and running cost. A novel method is presented in this work that allows fabrication of micro lens array using excimer laserExcimer laser micromachining. The fabrication has been done using mask projection with work piece scanning. A KrF excimer laser has been used to micro machine lenses on a poly (methyl methacrylate) substrate. The surface profile of the lens arrayLens array is measured and then related to the laser-material coupling and the energy of the laser pulses. Using this method, it is possible to fabricate micro lenses down to a diameter of 5 µm over a considerably large area.
