Abstract

A mask material is deposited on a substrate or growth template. The substrate or growth template is compatible with crystalline growth of a crystalline optical material. Patterned portions of the mask material are removed to expose one or more regions of the substrate or growth template. The one or more regions have target shapes of one or more optical components. The crystalline optical material is selectively grown in the one or more regions to form the one or more optical components.
