A compact holographic projector system was built and tested. This projection system offers a practical approach for making a highly corrected mesh or grid pattern on curved surfaces. The pattern can range in size from multimicrometer to submicrometer dimensions and be recorded in either positive or negative photoresist. Standing-wave interference patterns in the form of a diverging close-packed lattice of either hexagonal or square rodlike intensity maxima extending outward from a point or a locus of points are produced by multiple-beam holography that involves the combination of a holographic diffraction grating and a hypercomatic focusing objective.
