SYLM 4.2: Invited Talk

Thursday, March 13, 2008, 11:30–12:00, 2B/C

Towards nanostructuring with femtosecond lasers — •Boris Chichkov — Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V.

I will report on our progress in the development of laser-based nanotechnologies. In particular, three-dimensional microstructuring by multiphoton illumination technique will be discussed. Taking its origin from multiphoton microscopy, it is now becoming an important microfabrication tool. Two-photon polymerization (2PP) and a more general version of this technology, two-photon activated laser processing, are considered as enabling technologies for the fabrication of 3D photonic crystals and photonic crystal templates. 2PP is very promising technique for the fabrication of drug delivery systems and medical implants. These and other applications in nanophotonics and biomedicine will be discussed.
