New horizons in micro-optical assembly fabrication – SLE
Micro-optical assembly applications are becoming more and more demanding. This makes the limitations of traditional microfabrication methods increasingly apparent.
Selective Laser-Induced Etching (SLE) offers new design freedom and overcomes many of the technical bottlenecks that have constrained the field for decades. This Mikroniek article explores how SLE, combined with advanced assembly techniques and polishing by CO2 laser, enables the next generation of photonic systems. (Image courtesy of LouwersHanique)
