Single-pulse multiphoton polymerization of complex structures using a digital multimirror device

Opt Express. 2013 Jun 17;21(12):14853-8. doi: 10.1364/OE.21.014853.

Abstract

We present a rapid technique for the patterning of complex structures with ~2µm resolution via multiphoton polymerization, through use of a single ultrashort pulse in combination with the spatial intensity modulation possible from a digital multimirror device. Sub-micron features have been achieved through the use of ten consecutive pulses.
