Abstract

The paper focuses on the results of fabrication of diffraction and refraction lenses with the use of hot embossing process from multi-component glasses.Hot embossing is an attractive alternative to other micro-replication methods, since its cost effectiveness makes it suitable for mass-fabrication of wide range of elements. Multi-component glasses names soft glasses are transparent from visible to near and mid infrared spectral region.
