Abstract
An integrated light deflector and fabrication method are disclosed. In accordance with the method, a mold is constructed above the surface of a substrate using a thick photo resist and a mask to define a deflector plane. A collimated light beam is applied at an appropriate angle of incidence to the photo resist material and mask. The developed resist provides a mold into which the deflector body is cast, leaving a deflector body whose front surface serves as the deflecting surface.
