High-speed imprinting on plastic optical fibers using cylindrical mold with hybrid microstructures
We developed a cylinder mold with hybrid-layered patterns. A precise cutting was combined with 3-D photolithography using a flexible mask. The imprint speed was improved by changing a press-force control method. We succeeded in continuous imprinting on a POF at a feeding speed of 20m/min.
