Industrial View Of Plasmonic Devices Made By Nanoimprint Or Injection Molding

We present a perspective of the industrial realization of plasmonic devices especially for life science and in vitro diagnostic applications. The main focus is on the manufacturing technologies Nanoimprint Lithography and injection molding as scalable processes for high volume manufacturing. Both technologies have their individual strengths and technical restrictions, which are discussed along different examples for plasmonic applications especially for biosensor applications.
