Abstract
Technologies and fabrication methods are often responsible for the success of products, because its price, functionality, size, and durability depend on it. Usually, technological reasons may lead to a time lag of years or even tens of years between the discovery and the first proof or the first commercial use of a physical effect. Therefore, the technologies play a key role in our technical life and we need to focus also on the fabrication technologies in a general discussion on microoptical elements.
