title = "Development of a low f-number micro-lens and microinjection mold master using micro-stereolithography technology",
abstract = "It is known that a lens, which has very low f-number, can relatively be easily fabricated using a higher order kinoform. In this paper, a higher-order kinoform micro-lens was developed using the micro-stereolithography technology. The solidification width varies with the scanning speed and power of the laser beam in microstereolithography. Since it is difficult to change the laser power during the process, scanning speed is the only parameter to control the solidification width. Experiments were thus conducted to find the relation between the solidification width and the scanning speed for a single laser irradiation with the laser power fixed. The focal length and the F/# of the developed lens were 5mm and 2.5, respectively. The developed lens has 64 kinoform order and 4 phase levels. A microstructure for the manufacturing of mold core for micro-injection molding of the developed micro-lens was also fabricated using the micro-stereolithography technology. It can thus be expected that the replica of this lens can be manufactured easily.",
