Everything is relative...
The nanopillar silicon coating was made using the same commercial lithography tools as industrial semiconductors, making it easy to quickly apply these coatings to existing optical components and expand the applicability of femtosecond laser pulses.
Using existing manufacturing equipment from a well-established field is surely a lot simpler than developing ground-breaking new manufacturing devices.
