Title: Biography of Inventor Pascal Dupriez
Introduction: Pascal Dupriez is an accomplished inventor based in Charlotte, NC (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of micro-optical structures through his innovative patent.
Latest Patents: Dupriez holds a patent titled "Gray scale fabrication method using a spin-on glass material and integrated optical designs produced therefrom." This invention relates to the fabrication of micro-optical structures in a glass-like transparent material using conventional photolithography processing steps. The spin-on glass (SOG) material behaves like a negative-tone photoresist and possesses high-quality optical properties similar to those of glass. The invention utilizes gray scale photomasks to illuminate the uncured spin-on material with varying intensities, resulting in different film thicknesses of the SOG material after the chemical development step. This allows for the fabrication of micro-optical structures with desired shapes based on the transmission characteristics of each region of the gray scale photomask.
Career Highlights: Dupriez has been instrumental in advancing optical technologies through his work at Waveguide Solutions, Inc. His expertise in micro-optical fabrication has positioned him as a key player in the industry.
Collaborations: Throughout his career, Dupriez has collaborated with notable colleagues, including Faramarz Farahi and Patrick Moyer. These partnerships have fostered innovation and contributed to the success of their projects
