- image intensification remote viewings
- remote viewings field flattening
- X-ray imaging such as radiography and mammography
- molecular diagnostics like in genomics, proteomics, drug discovery, micro-fluidic systems and others.
- a method for manufacturing optical plates involves embossing a desired height and aspect ratio structure on top of a desired substrate which can be a functional unit (detector, etc.). This may be followed by filling areas around the embossed fibers if necessary with a low refractive material or other functional materials.
- Functional materials may be deposited on the fibers as well. These functional materials may include, for example, target-specific affinity probes deposited onto the optical faceplate.
- the present invention will be described in terms of optical faceplates with embossed optical fibers.
- teachings of the present invention are much broader and are applicable to array based attachment methods for fibers in a transverse orientation with respect to a substrate that carries or secures the fibers.
- the fibers may be mounted on, positioned on or otherwise placed on a substrate using a plurality of different technologies.
- Embodiments described herein are preferably fabricated using a printing process; however, lithographic imaging and processing may also be employed. Other processing techniques are also contemplated.
- optical faceplates may be adapted to include additional electronic/optical components. These components may be formed integrally with the substrate or mounted on the substrate or other components (e.g., on the fibers). In addition, the components employed may vary depending on the application and the design. The elements depicted in the FIGS, may be implemented in various combinations of hardware and provide functions which may be combined in a single element or multiple elements.
- an optical faceplate 10 includes a substrate 12 with a plurality of optical fibers 14 embossed on top of the substrate 12 in a desired pattern or array 15.
- the substrate 12 may be or have a functional unit 16 formed thereon, such as a pixel, array of pixels, a detector, a sensor, etc. If a detector or sensor is employed in substrate 12, quality checking or testing the fiber optic array 15 becomes easy since it is easier to detect the functionality of the final product.
- Fibers 14 preferably have high aspect ratios, e.g., width to length ratios of 1 :2 to 1 : 10 or greater.
- the fibers 14 formed in accordance with the present principles are individually aligned and can be more easily manufactured.
- the method is also suitable for producing fibers with nanometer dimensions (nano-fibers). This method of manufacturing also permits the control of various array dimensions, e.g., center-to-center spacing between the fibers 14, the shape of the fibers (e.g. ovals, squares, hexagons, octagons, etc.), and fiber tip shapes.
- Such dimensions, shapes and spacings are advantageously predetermined in a die/stamp or pre-patterned in a lithographic masking operation.
- the present principles afford a great amount of flexibility in the fabrication of optical fibers.
- the cross-sectional shapes of fibers and spacings between fibers may be varied over the same device or substrate.
- the fibers' density and individual sizes of fibers may be varied over a surface.
- the cross-sectional shapes and widths may be varied and mixed over the surface.
- the top surface shape of the fibers can be varied to be dome shaped, flat, pyramidal, curved, etc.
- the dimensions of the fiber may also vary along the fiber axis. Such structures may be varied and mixed along the surface.
- tapered fibers can also be produced. Precise positioning of optical fibers 14 relative to the substrate 12 is advantageously achieved.
- substrate 12 includes a source or a detector such as CCD or CMOS sensors
- precise positioning of fibers 14 can be provided at particular positions on the substrate 12 that can optimize or improve performance.
- the bonding of an optical face plate to a source or detector is improved resulting in improved transmission efficiency, and reduced cost.
- Fibers can be bonded to the surface chemically. This can be achieved by treating the surface using reactive molecules which can subsequently react with the layer. It can also be just a physical adhesion.
- a sol-gel material which shows low polymerization shrinkage and becomes chemically attached to the surface, may be employed.
- a liquid material is deposited (e.g., spun on) and solidified , by evaporation of the solvent and/or cross-linking by heat or light.
- these materials have desired and improved optical properties (e.g. optimal numerical aperture, high transmission) for this application while being thermally and chemically stable (no degradation or discoloring).
- curable materials may be selected from the group of (metha)acrylate, epoxies oxetanes, vinyl ethers, alkoxides such as the alkoxysilanes tertramethoxysilane (TMOS), tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) or other suitable materials.

- TEOS tetraethoxysilane
- MTMS methyltrimethoxysilane
- a stacked fiber optic faceplate 20 is illustratively shown.
- a first layer 28 includes a first material which may be deposited or spun onto a substrate 12.
- a second layer 26 is formed on top of the first layer 28.
- the processing of layers 26 and 28 may be performed in steps or performed simultaneously depending on the method used to process the layers and the types of materials employed for each layer. For example, if a stamping process is employed both layers 26 and 28 may be stamped at the same time to form stacked fibers 24. If a lithographic process is employed, the layers may be etched at the same time or etched in steps if the etching chemistry needs to be adjusted for the different layers.
- Fibers 24 are used to guide light to the sensors which are configured to guide light produced by for example a phosphor layer on top of the fibers. If the fibers need to have an aspect ratio which cannot be obtained in a single imprint action one can use a stacked fiber configuration shown in FIG. 2. Stacked fibers 24 may include different materials and have different optical characteristics and dimensions. One skilled in the art would understand that one of the layers may be employed to attenuate radiation (light, X-rays, etc.) or otherwise condition the light and/or radiation (e.g., filter a particular wavelength or the like). In one embodiment, layer 26 may remain continuous and not have fibers formed therein such that fibers are only formed in layer 28.
- a plurality of layers may be stacked onto each other in a number greater than two.
- sections of the stacked fibers 24 may be formed coaxially as shown in FIG. 2; however, the sections of stacked fibers 24 may be formed with different cross-sectional areas from one layer to the next or may have centers offset from one layer to the next.
- an area between the fibers 14 or 24 may be left empty or filled or partially filled with a material 32.
- Material 32 may include a low refractive index material, a radiation blocking material (e.g., a light blocking material or an X-ray blocking material comprising heavy metals and their ions) or other functional material or structure.
- a radiation blocking material e.g., a light blocking material or an X-ray blocking material comprising heavy metals and their ions
- a highly reflecting or absorbing material which may also comprise particles of any size may be used to fill the outer structure of the fiber optic faceplate 10 or 20 to obtain high image quality of a CCD or CMOS imager.
- Material 32 may also be employed to protect fibers 14 and 24 from stress/strain due to handling or operations.
- Material 32 may also be employed as a mask to protect lower portions of fibers 14 or 24 and present upper portions of the fibers 14 and 24 for processing (e.g., etching to clean rough or dirty surfaces or for forming additional features as described below, e.g., with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5).
- fiber optic face plate 10 may includes a functional material 42 such as a luminescent or phosphorescent material (phosphors) or scintillator material or other materials in case an application includes X-ray imaging or other modalities.
- a functional material 42 such as a luminescent or phosphorescent material (phosphors) or scintillator material or other materials in case an application includes X-ray imaging or other modalities.
- this material (e.g. phosphor) 42 may be positioned in an upper region of the fibers 14. These material structures 42 may be illuminated under given conditions.
- target-specific affinity probes 54 may be deposited onto the optical faceplate 10 or 20 as well.
- the target-specific affinity probes 54 can be deposited onto the optical faceplate 10 or 20 in a plurality of ways including contacting, dropping, spotting or by any other suitable deposition technique. Immobilization of the target-specific affinity probes 54 onto the optic faceplate can be achieved in different ways including chemical binding of the probes 54 to the faceplate 10 or 20.
- Probes 54 may include different biological receptors for detecting DNA, RNA, proteins, cells, tissue, or any kind of biological molecule or organism of interest. Optic faceplates can be used for high throughput methods of molecular diagnostics.
- Optic faceplates have the advantage of having an extremely high number of optical elements and reaction sites. They provide interference free separation of reaction sites via microwells or capillaries. Using fiber optic technology, superior readout of individual optical channels can be obtained. This permits high sensitivity, repeatability and low background fluorescence.
- an imprint lithography / embossing method is illustratively shown in accordance with one method for fabrication of optical faceplates in accordance with the present principles.
- a large-area imprint technology may be employed which is highly suitable for manufacturing down to nanometer size structures with high aspect ratios at room temperature in single and stacked layers.
- a flexible stamp is employed for the replication of structures from mm to nm-size.
- This technique is extremely suitable for producing fiber optic faceplates since it can print features from mm up to nm-size with high aspect ratios at high accuracy.
- the manufacturing process is low-cost and has industrial manufacturing capability.
- the suggested manufacturing process producing fiber optic faceplates using imprint lithography is herein presented.
- a solidifiable liquid 62 with reactive molecules such as 2.9 wt% TMOS, 2.6 wt% MTMS, 87.5 wt% 1-propanol, 2.3 wt% formic acid, 3.7 wt% water and 1.0 wt% methylbenzoate, is applied on a substrate 12, e.g. by spincoating, spray coating or doctor blading.
- the substrate may include a functional unit 16, such as a pixel or optical sensor or the like.
- a solvent in liquid 62 evaporates, and the reactive molecules start forming a gel 66 as shown in FIG. 6B.
- a layer 68 is embossed by a flexible rubber stamp 70 which is gently applied to the substrate 12 in a wave type motion preventing air inclusions, as is described in WO2003099463 and EP 1511632, incorporated herein by reference, and depicted in FIG. 6C.
- the solvent in liquid 62 may also diffuse from the gel material 66 into the stamp 70 to assist in leaving a solid structure 72 on the substrate 12 and/or functional unit 16, as shown.
- the rubber stamp 70 is preferably removed by the wave type motion technique as well, peeling off of the stamp without destruction of the replica, as shown in FIG. 6D.
- the solid structure 72 on the substrate 12 can be filled by a light blocking or other material such as a silver sol-gel (see e.g., FIG. 3). It is also possible to manufacture the light blocking structures first, and subsequently filling the gaps with material that permits light to propagate therethrough.

- ion beam etching ion beam etching
- a second imprint lithography / embossing method is illustratively shown using ultraviolet (UV) or heat sensitive material for fabrication of an optical face plate.
- UV ultraviolet
- heat sensitive material for fabrication of an optical face plate.
- a UV or heat sensitive material 164 is applied on a substrate 12, e.g. by spincoating or doctor blading.
- the deposited layer 164 is embossed or imprinted by a stamp 170 and is subsequently irradiated by radiation as is shown in FIG. 7B.
- the irradiation causes the resist or material 164 to crosslink or otherwise solidify. Removing the stamp 170 leaves a fiber structure 172 on the substrate 12, as shown in FIG. 1C.
- a fiber array 180 is formed on a substrate 12 including a functional unit 16.
- the fiber array 180 is produced by imprint lithography in which an area between the fibers 14 is filled with a material 182 (which may be the same as material 32 described above).
- a curable material 184 e.g., a resist
- the deposited layer 184 of FIG. 8B is embossed by a stamp 170 after alignment of the stamp with respect to the substrate and is subsequently solidified to form solid structure 186 as is shown in FIG. 8C.
- Removing the stamp 170 leaves the fiber structure 186 on the filled fiber array 180 of FIG. 8A as shown in FIG. 8D.
- the filling material 182 can be removed afterwards by e.g. dissolving the filling material 182 in a suitable solvent or by burning away the filling material 182 resulting in a stacked fiber array 188 (only possible if heat or solvent resistant materials are used for producing the fiber array such as sol-gel materials).
- a fiber optic faceplate 190 may be employed in a digital radiography application. This results in better image resolution and more efficient light collection and transmission compared to lenses.
- a fiber optical array 190 is positioned between a scintillator 192 and CCD or CMOS imagers 194.
- An X-ray source 196 produces X-rays. Light from an x-ray scintillator tends to scatter as depicted in FIG. 10, but a faceplate 190 made from coherent fiber optic strands in accordance with the present principles minimizes scatter and preserves image intensity and resolution.
- a 6 micron fiber diameter can provide 16 fibers to a 24 micron pixel; however, many more fibers can be provided in accordance with the present principles, since fibers with a small diameter (even on the nanometer scale) can be manufactured. Density, size, shape and location of fibers can easily be varied across a substrate.
- faceplates can be manufactured with fibers having specific shapes (e.g. ovals, squares, hexagons, octagons, etc.) and smaller sizes (e.g., below 15 micrometers and into the nano-meter range) as described above.

- the layer is processed to form an array of optical fibers transversely disposed to the major surface of the substrate. This may include forming a gel or solid before or during an embossing step in block 206 or curing a resist layer during an embossing step using radiation (e.g., UV) or heat.
- radiation e.g., UV
- a filling material may be formed around the previous layer of fibers. This is so that a plurality of layers may be formed to create a stacked optical faceplate.
