Fabrication of diffraction-encoded micro-particles using nano-imprint lithography

A nano-imprint lithography technique is described for fabrication of optically encoded microparticles (diffractive barcodes). The particles are fabricated from SU8 - a material which can be processed lithographically, and which can be used for attachment of molecular tags. The barcodes are identifie...

Description
Summary:A nano-imprint lithography technique is described for fabrication of optically encoded microparticles (diffractive barcodes). The particles are fabricated from SU8 - a material which can be processed lithographically, and which can be used for attachment of molecular tags. The barcodes are identified by their unique diffraction patterns
