Abstract :
A new technique for parallel imprinting of multiple optical-fibre facets is presented. Resolution of better than 15nm is demonstrated and up to 40 optical-fibres have been imprinted in parallel. A compact, portable imprinting-module exploits self alignment to accommodate non-planar, biological molds.
