AbstractOur recent progress in the direct-write femtosecond laser material processing technologies, nanostructuring, and fabrication of photonic devices is reviewed. Special attention is given to the sub-wavelength microstructuring of metals and two-photon polymerization (2PP) technique. Formation of microbumps and nanojets on thin metal films under single pulse laser irradiation is discussed. Microstructuring of different photosensitive materials by 2PP technique is demonstrated. Numerous applications of this technology for the fabrication of 3d structures, waveguides, photonic crystals, etc. are studied.

A pilot study on laser 3D printing of inorganic free-form micro-optics is experimentally validated. Ultrafast laser direct-write (LDW) nanolithography is employed for structuring hybrid organic-inorganic material SZ2080TM followed by high-temperature calcination post-processing. The combination allows the production of 3D architectures and the heat-treatment results in converting the material to inorganic substances. The produced miniature optical elements are characterized and their optical performance is demonstrated. Finally, the concept is validated for manufacturing compound optical components such as stacked lenses. This is an opening for new directions and applications of laser-made micro-optics under harsh conditions such as high intensity radiation, temperature, acidic environment, pressure variations, which include open space, astrophotonics, and remote sensing.

Cadmium telluride has become increasingly important in a number of technological applications, particularly in the area of laser-optical components and solid state devices, Microstructural characterizations of the material have in the past been somewhat limited because of the lack of suitable sample preparation and thinning techniques. Utilizing a modified jet thinning apparatus and a potassium dichromate-sulfuric acid thinning solution, a procedure has now been developed for obtaining thin contamination-free samples for TEM examination.
