Here is demonstrated a soft embossing technique for printing a submicrometer grating with an elastomeric mold into an optically active polymer layer in a photovoltaic device (see Figure). The light trapping due to the grating pattern enhances the photoconversion efficiency by more than 25 % at normal light incidence (see also inside front cover).
