One-step sol–gel imprint lithography for guided-mode resonance structures

A sol-gel based imprint lithography process has been developed to fabricate guided-mode resonance (GMR) structures. The inexpensive process offers a rapid means to create sub-micron grating waveguide structures over large surface areas. Both one-dimensional and two-dimensional GMR devices have been successfully fabricated and characterized.
