Abstract
A method is developed for the quantitative assessment of microlens deficiencies caused by inaccuracies in the multistep mesa fabrication or by incomplete mass-transport smoothing. Analytical expressions are obtained and tolerable imperfections are deduced for the practical effort-saving fabrication of high-performance micro-optical elements.
