Thin films are thin coating layers present in many different technologies. Despite their widespread use, most of the focus is around how they provide a barrier to various stimuli, or how they can be used as a conductive medium. However, there is another class of thin films that we will discuss, and these are optical thin films.

Combining speed with incredible precision, a team of Molecular Foundry scientists and industry users developed a way to print extremely small devices on the tip of a glass fiber as thin as a human hair.
