Abstract:
A method of creating a pattern of a species at a defined region proximate a substrate surface, comprising:providing an article having a contoured surface including at least one indentation defining a pattern; forming at a first region proximate a substrate surface, in a pattern corresponding to the indentation pattern, a fluid precursor of the species; allowing the fluid precursor to harden at the first region of the substrate surface, in a pattern corresponding to the indentation pattern; and positioning a second fluid precursor in contact with the hardened first fluid precursor and allowing the second fluid precursor to harden to form a component having a refractive index different from the refractive index of the hardened first precursor.
