The ability to create wafer-scale stitching-error-free patterns of nanostructures on bowed and warped surfaces and even on topography, as well as direct patterning of 3-D structures, makes nanoimprint lithography ideally suited for the needs of a diversified photonics market. Photonics applications are emerging rapidly, thanks to the fabrication infrastructure of the semiconductor industry that enables new functionalities, smaller form factors, improved performance and reduced costs.

ColorLock Filter Stacks Enable Better Wide-Angle Imaging
New glass filters overcome considerable design challenges to transmit wide-angle incident light without shifting wavelengths, offering an innovative solution for a variety of applications in which the high transmission afforded by dielectric filters is less important than the consistency of the wavelengths of light coming in from wider incident angles.

Multispectral imaging takes the detection capability of machine vision beyond just color inspection. With wafer-level coating of multispectral filters, advanced multispectral cameras now can be designed in a compact form factor. The result: many new opportunities in high-speed line-scan imaging.

LSCM and RelA for Quantifying Microwear: A Case Study
Laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) and relative area (RelA) are effective tools for the documentation and discrimination of surface roughness on experimental stone tools made from Mistassini quartzite. Together, their ability to effectively document and discriminate wear on these experimental tools offers archaeologists another method for studying past uses of chipped quartzite artifacts.
