manufacturing are the lithographic analog micro- optics fabrication techniques that provide robust design structures ..... State-of-the-art lithographic analog micro- optics fabrication techniques create microlens arrays, beam shapers
Manufacturing a functional high-power laser optical component requires great care in every step. Even a flawless optical substrate is of no use if it hasn’t been cleaned adequately before thin-film coating. And the cleaning techniques used in the average optical-engineering lab do not apply here.

Precision glass molding of aspheric lenses allows a wide variety of optical designs with smaller size, reduced weight, and no post-polishing; these lenses can be made economically in medium to high production volumes.

Long used in the fabrication of microelectronics, plasma etching is also valuable for producing micro-optics; however, the requirements for micro-optics are different and must be adhered to.
