Fiber‐drawing nanomanufacturing is used for the large scale fabrication of glass micromirror arrays with three‐dimensional order by differential chemical etching. The arrays can deflect 97% of the incident light away from the incident direction, thus making novel substrates ideal for increased optical paths for a variety of optoelectronic applications including solar cells.
