Abstract

A mirror structure includes a plurality of features of a defined size. The features include alternating spatial units of a chalcogenide glass and a thermoplastic polymer, and are specifically arranged in an ordered form so that the structure is highly reflective. Thermally-assisted methods are introduced for forming such structures.
