Femtosecond Two-Photon Photopolymerization—Creating 3D Microstructures for Optical Applications

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

We studied the physical principles of creating 3D microstructures using the method of femtosecond two-photon photopolymerization. We present 3D microstructures of complex topology and demonstrate a wide range of optical applications: elements of photonic integrated circuits, a new generation of micro-optical devices, elements of X-ray optics, and devices with single-photon sources.

Funding

Research of microoptical devices—arrays of microlenses were carried out with the support of the Russian Science Foundation (project no. 22-79-10153.) Research related to X-ray optics was carried out with the financial support of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation, scientific project 15.SIN.21.0008 (Agreement no. 075-11-2021-086). The development of a single-beam optical 3D lithography system that overcomes diffraction limit is carried out in accordance with the Agreement on the provision of subsidies from the federal budget no. 075-02-2022-1672. The creation and study of 3D microstructures in combination with sources of single (Fock) photons and optical cavities was supported by the Russian Science Foundation (project no. 22-19-00324).
