We replicated a biological template, namely the eye of a fruit fly, at the micro- and nanoscales by implementing the conformal-evaporated-film-by-rotation (CEFR) technique, which allows the replication of even curved biotemplates. Chalcogenide glasses were used for replication due to their infrared optical properties, combined with good chemical and mechanical durability. Microscopy, together with optical characterization in the visible and near-infrared ranges, indicates high-fidelity replication of the original biotemplate. The CEFR technique could be useful for the development of highly efficient, biomimetic optical devices.
我们通过实施旋转式共形蒸发镀膜（CEFR）技术，在微米和纳米尺度上复制了一个生物模板，即果蝇的眼睛，该技术甚至能够复制弯曲的生物模板。由于硫族化物玻璃具有红外光学特性，同时具备良好的化学和机械耐久性，因此被用于复制。显微镜检查以及可见光和近红外范围内的光学表征表明，原始生物模板得到了高保真复制。CEFR技术可能有助于高效仿生光学器件的开发。
