A three-dimensional (3D) ordered polymer microstructure having a length, a width and a height and including a plurality of waveguides that can be formed utilizing a mask and collimated light. The plurality of waveguides includes a first waveguide having a first finite propagation distance extended along a first direction, a second waveguide having a second finite propagation distance extended along a second direction and a third waveguide having a third finite propagation distance extended along a third direction. Here, only one of the length, width and height of the 3D ordered polymer microstructure is limited by the first finite propagation distance of the first waveguide, the second finite propagation distance of the second waveguide and the third finite propagation distance of the third waveguide.
