Hierarchical, length scale bridging arrangements of different optical features by using suitable combinations of self-assembly, template-replication and micro-fabrication, enables us to create surfaces with tens of thousands of identical optical components in one square centimeter. The visual appearance of theses surfaces changes strongly depending on the local surface orientation, which makes them suitable for localization of deformations with high spatial resolution. The incorporation of active elements such as laser dyes, and quantum dots enables us to create micro-scale emitters.
