Abstract
The present invention is directed to a method for enhancing functionality for photonic devices each including at least one operable surface. This method includes stacking the photonic devices such that each of the operable surfaces are aligned to form a composite surface, applying a film adapted to receive a replication to the composite surface and replicating a pattern of nanostructures in the applied film. Substantially, each of the operable surfaces is replicated with a sufficient portion of the replicated pattern of nanostructures to enhance operation of the devices by performing a given function associated with the nanostructures.
