There are provided a curable composition for imprinting, the curable composition including a polymerizable compound having two or more radical polymerizable groups, a radical polymerization initiator, and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of an organopolysiloxane having only one radical polymerizable group and an organopolysiloxane having no or one radical polymerizable group and having a poly(oxyalkylene) group, a cured product of the curable composition for imprinting, a method for producing an imprint pattern using the curable composition for imprinting, and a method for producing a device, the method including the method for producing an imprint pattern.

In one embodiment, a photocurable composition can comprise a polymerizable material and a photoinitiator, wherein the polymerizable material includes an isocyanate group containing compound of formula (1): R1-R2-N═C═O (1), with R1 including a carbon-carbon double bond, and R2 being substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, aryl, or alkylaryl. An amount of 1 wt % to 10 wt % of the isocyanate group containing compound can cause a strong adhesion strength of the photocurable composition to a silicon substrate after curing, and may allow the omission of an adhesion layer between substrate and the photo-cured layer.

The invention relates to a process for the production of relief printing plates, where a carrier with a polymeric substrate layer is provided and a relief is formed layer-by-layer on a surface of the substrate layer, where the relief is formed by means of a) single or multiple application of a liquid comprising at least one reactive monomer to the surface of the substrate layer, b) diffusion of the reactive monomer into the polymeric substrate layer for a prescribed exposure time and c) hardening of the relief,
where in step a) the liquid is applied in accordance with an image to the surface and where, after the prescribed exposure time of step b), any liquid that remains on the surface, having not diffused into the material, is removed from the surface, and in step c) the relief that is hardened comprises the polymer of the substrate layer and reactive monomer that has diffused into the material.

A grating coupler may be fabricated by exposing a photopolymer layer to grating forming light for forming periodic refractive index variations in the photopolymer layer. The photopolymer layer may be exposed to apodization light for reducing an amplitude of the periodic refractive index variations in a spatially-selective manner. The apodization may also be achieved or facilitated by subjecting outer surface(s) of the photopolymer layer to a chemically reactive agent that causes the refractive index contrast to be reduced near the surface(s) of application. The apodized refractive index profile of the gratings facilitates the reduction of optical crosstalk between different gratings of the grating coupler.
