1. A method comprising:
forming a layer of a non-volatile medium material over a surface of a mold;
forming a layer of a molecular feedstock over a surface of the non-volatile medium material, the molecular feedstock comprising an organic solid crystal precursor;
forming crystal nuclei from the organic solid crystal precursor; and
growing the crystal nuclei to form a biaxially-oriented organic solid crystal thin film having mutually orthogonal refractive indices, n1≠n2≠n3, wherein in-plane refractive indices (n2, n3) of the biaxially-oriented organic solid crystal thin film are related according to |n2−n3|>0.05.
