Abstract

A cost-effective way of producing prototype multi-level phase diffractive optical elements is discussed. It is based on combining multiple projects on a single wafer to spread the non- recurring engineering costs over many users thereby reducing the cost. In this paper we discuss issues of cost versus design that were encountered in a multi-project foundry offered by Honeywell.
