Abstract

We demonstrate an epoxy acrylate based system on which various micro-optical applications can be realized. With this innovative and flexible material concept, it is possible to adjust viscosity (3 mPa s < η < 46 Pa s) as required for different microstructuring processes e.g. inkjet printing, spin coating, and stereolithography and simultaneously precisely tailor refractive indices (1.518 < nD,20 < 1.569) which is essential to implement optical sensor concepts. The practicability of this material system is demonstrated for optical waveguide production and selected applications. The fast and low cost modification of optical and rheological material properties is advantageous for the fabrication of micro-optical polymer devices including planar-optical polymer sensor networks.
