Micron-Scale Molecular Organic Microcavity Arrays Patterned With Thin-Film Contact-Patterning

We demonstrate arrays of molecular organic thin film microcavities with 5 μm lateral features fabricated by thin-film contact-patterning using polydimethylsiloxane stamps. The contact-patterning method enables engineering of shifts in the microcavity resonance energy across the microcavity array. Small resonance shifts are imparted by patterning thickness of organic films in multilayer structures, and large resonance shifts are formed by patterning thick films. The contact-patterning method is scalable, extendable to patterning sub-micronmeter organic photonic device features.
