Origination of nano- and microstructures on large areas by interference lithography

► We originate micro- and nanostructures on large areas with interference lithography. ► Templates for large area polarization optical elements are shown. ► A Roller-UV-NIL tool for continuous flow production was developed. ► Honeycomb textures show extraordinary light management properties for solar cells. ► 3D Photonic crystals reveal promising properties for novel optical devices.
