Applications
The technology of direct laser writing / three-dimensional laser lithography is the appropriate tool for researchers paving paths in a new dimension: the third dimension! The unique ability to structure in 3D on a sub-micrometer scale in a controlled fashion especially is valuable for these exemplified areas of research:
- Photonics:
photonic crystals, metamaterials, distributed feedback lasers (DFB lasers), photonic ring resonators, diffractive optics
- Micro Optics:
micro optical devices, integrated optics
- Micro Fluidics:
lab-on-a-chip systems, development of substances, analysis
- Life Sciences:
extra cellular matrices, stem cell differentiation, cell growth studies, tissue engineering
- Nano- and Microtechnology:
mask manufacturing with a superior resolution, examination of Gecko/Lotus effect
Examples of some research activities and results achieved with this technique can be found in the publication list and the following subordinate categories:
