Applications and potential of the mask structured ion exchange technique (MSI) in micro-optics

Abstract: The mask structured silver sodium ion exchange in glass (MSI) is a powerful tool for the realization of high precision refractive micro optical GRIN components. Commonly the distribution of the silver ions in GRIN elements and thus the index distribution is determined by the laws of thermal diffusion. By the use of a structured metal mask, which defines the areas of contact between the glass and the silver salt melt, an additional degree of freedom in optical design is introduced. A photolithographic pattern g… Show more

“…The planar microlens array (PMLA) is an important optical element because the focal length of the unit lenses is short meanwhile the NA and imaging resolution are relatively high [35,36]. In glass, ion-exchange techniques can produce gradient-refractive-index structures, as shown in Fig.…”

“…For the field assisted process (Fig. 18.15, right image) an additional electric field is applied between the silver salt melt (anode) and the bottom of the glass (cathode), which affects a current of silver ions into the glass [11].…”
