In this paper, an effective method for fabricating artificial compound-eye structures is demonstrated. The fabrication of high fill factor microlens arrays (MLAs) with sub-wavelength structures (SWSs) on a polycarbonate (PC) substrate involves nanoimprint and thermo-extrusion techniques by using two different scales of nano/micromolds. In addition, the MLAs with SWSs on the PC substrate would be replicated on a polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) millimeter concave surface by hot-embossing, forming three-level compound-eye structures. The optical properties of these samples are characterized. The transmittances of two-level PC and three-level PMMA compound structures are increased by 2.5% and 2%, and the uniformities are enhanced by 18% and 24%, respectively.
本文展示了一种制造人工复眼结构的有效方法。在聚碳酸酯(PC)基底上制造具有亚波长结构(SWS)的高填充因子微透镜阵列(MLAs)涉及纳米压印和热挤压技术,使用两种不同尺度的纳米/微模具。此外,在 PC 基底上具有 SWS 的 MLAs 将通过热压印复制到聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)毫米凹面,形成三级复眼结构。对这些样品的光学性能进行了表征。两级 PC 和三级 PMMA 复合结构的透过率分别提高了 2.5%和 2%,均匀性分别提高了 18%和 24%。
