Brent Bergner, Ph.D.
Brent has twenty years of experience in precision metrology and optical instrumentation for process control. He has made significant contributions to the fabrication, replication, and testing of micro-optic components and systems including: diamond turning, imprint lithography, molded optics, diffractive optics, waveguide gratings, wafer level integration of optical systems, and liquid crystals for telecommunications applications. His current research interests concern optical methods to characterizing engineered and structured surfaces (such as diffractive optical elements, tribological surfaces, and lithographic patterning for semi-conductor fabrication) as well as optical instrumentation for process control and functional testing, particularly related to replicated and/or high volume micro-optic components and systems.
