ABSTRACT:
A microchannel collimating array may be fabricated by casting an elastic sheet onto a substrate containing a plurality of pedestals. The elastic sheet may be cured, and then pulled away from the substrate, leaving the elastic sheet with a plurality of tubes at the locations of the pedestals. The plurality of tubes may collimate light incident on the elastic sheet.
