Abstract :
We describe the application of the hot embossing process to fabricate micro-optical elements using multi-component soft glasses. The fabricated elements are both refractive and diffractive and can be used in the visible to mid-infrared range. We will present all steps of the fabrication process and optical properties of obtained elements.
