A Novel Fabricating Method of Micro Lens-on-Lens Arrays with Two Focal Lengths
Micro lens-on-lens array (MLLA) is a novel 3D structure with unique optical properties that cannot be fabricated accurately and quickly by existing processing methods. In this paper, a new fabricating method of MLLAs with two focal lengths is proposed. By introducing the soft lithography technology,...
