Single-mask microfabrication of aspherical optics using KOH anisotropic etching of Si
We report on the microfabrication of continuous aspherical optical surfaces with a single-mask process, using anisotropic etching of silicon in a KOH water solution. Precise arbitrary aspherical surfaces with lateral scales on the order of several millimeters and a profile depth on the order of several micrometers were fabricated using this process. We
