Abstract:
A ridged perfluorocyclobutane diffraction grating produced by a process comprising:(a) providing a patterned master template having spaced ridges; (b) providing a composition in a solvent, the composition being selected from compositions consisting of: homopolymers, copolymers, oligomers, co-oligomers, and monomers; (c) reacting said composition to form a perfluorocyclobutane species; (d) replicating a pattern from said patterned master template upon said perfluorocyclobutane species; and (e) curing said perfluorocyclobutane species to form a replicated perfluorocyclobutane diffraction grating having ridges.
