Abstract

Fine scale periodic structures offer designers additional freedom to create novel functions or combinations of functions. This emerging field of structured surfaces is poorly defined. This paper attempts to define structured surfaces, and then to provide examples of such surfaces for a variety of applications. Manufacturing and metrology are also discussed.
