Zone Plates

Fresnel Zone Plates were fabricated on the backside of sapphire substrates, to provide collimated output of InGaN blue LEDs fabricated on the front size of the wafer. Such LEDs may be used in a contact lens display platform to form in-focus images on the retina from components placed directly on the surface of the cornea.
Shown here are the fabrication sequence, as well as example optical and SEM micrographs of completed zone plates.
