Title:
MICRONEEDLE ARRAY SYSTEMS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002050584
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to systems of microneedle arrays to align and form optical components. Active components such as lasers are combined with optical fibers. microneedles are fabricated using techniques such as laser drilled Kapton, and combined with optical fiber, using bump bonding and UV curing adhesives to manufacture a variety of optical components.
