Abstract
Here we present a method of creating GRIN optical components with custom refractive index profile through layerless 3D patterning of diffusion-driven photopolymer. We show 3D control over a stable refractive index profile, and through post-processing, tune the resulting mechanical properties of the lens for various applications.
