Bridging the gap between design and production in the field of optical devices

Photolithography is a complex process often used in making computer chips and lenses where light is expertly etched onto a surface to create features. However, tiny deviations that occur during the manufacturing process often result in the final product not meeting the initially intended design. To rectify this, a team of researchers from MIT and the…
