Abstract: Systems and methods for remediating streak in glass ribbons formed from glass forming processes are disclosed. The systems include a laser that produces a stationary laser beam having a wavelength of from about 1 ?m to about 12 ?m and a beam width less than or equal to a full width half maximum of a change in the thickness of the glass ribbon over a streak width at a streak location and optical components to condition and direct the laser beam at the streak location. The methods include forming the glass ribbon, identifying a streak in the glass ribbon, and directing the laser beam at the streak location. The laser beam heats the glass ribbon at the location of the streak, which reduces a viscosity of the glass ribbon to cause glass thinning that reduces the severity of the streak.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for fabricating polymeric wavelength filter, which method for forming gratings patterns on the UV polymer involves three processing steps. First, a gratings pattern is holographically exposed using a two-beam interference pattern on a positive photo-resister film. A 20-nm-thick nickel thin film is then sputtered onto the positive photo-resister film to form a nickel mold. This nickel mold on the photo-resister film then can be subsequently used to transfer the final gratings pattern onto a UV cure epoxy polymer. Whereby, a polymer film can be spun coated on the cure epoxy substrate so as to simplify the fabrication process for obtaining a polymer wavelength filter with good aspect ratio of gratings pattern.
