Abstract

Microoptic devices^1,2) as shown in fig.1 are becoming standard optical components by recent development in optical imaging systems and fiber communication systems because of 2-D configuration facility and mass productivity using replicating technique³⁾. In particular, LCD systems have been grown up very fast in these few years and will be a promising industrial field of microoptic devices. For this purpose, area size must be increased from a few mm to a few 10 cm, while μm feature size is still remained, and this is called giant microoptics.
