Two-photon polymerisation of novel shapes using a conically diffracted femtosecond laser beam

摘要

Sub-micron ring, pillar and wall structures were written by two-photon polymerisation of a sol-gel resin using a femtosecond laser beam which was shaped using internal conical diffraction. The ring structure was written using a demagnified image of the ring-shaped beam which arises in conical diffraction of a narrow light beam. The pillar and wall structures were produced by imaging the Bessel beam formed by conical diffraction in combination with a converging lens.
