Fabrication of 3D photonic crystal structures by two-photon polymerization technique — •Aleksandr Ovsianikov and Boris Chichkov — Hollerithallee 8

Two-photon polymerization technique can be considered as an enabling technology for the fabrication of 3D photonic crystals, especially those with introduced defects. Here, we report on our recent progress in the fabrication of 3D polymeric photonic crystals and investigation of their optical properties. Most of the materials used for 2PP were developed for lithographic applications and have a refractive index of the order of 1.6. We have investigated many of such materials and their structurability by 2PP technique. Further prospects of 2PP technology will be discussed.
