Interference lithography is a promising method for fabricating large-area, defect-free three-dimensional photonic crystal structures which can be used for facilitating the realization of photonic devices with a fast processing time. Although they can be used in waveguides, resonators, and detectors, their repeated regular array patterns can only be used for limited applications. In this study, we demonstrate a method for fabricating large-area photonic crystal structures with controlled defects by combining interference lithography and two-photon lithography using a light-curable resin. By combining regular array structures and controlled patterns, monotonous but large-area regular structures can be obtained. Furthermore, the patterned structures have considerable potential for use in various applications, such as solar cells, sensors, photodetectors, micro-/nano-electronics, and cell growth.

The photo-polymerization induced by Two-Photon Absorption (TPA) is tightly confined in the focus because the efficiency of TPA is proportional to the square of intensity. Three-dimensional (3D) micro-fabrication can be achieved by controlling the movement of the focus. Based on this theory, a system for 3D-micro-fabrication with femtosecond laser is proposed. The system consists of a laser system, a microscope system, a real-time detection system and a 3D-movement system, etc. The precision of micro-machining reaches a level down to 700nm linewidth. The line width was inversely proportional to the fabrication speed, but proportional to laser power and NA. The experiment results were simulated, beam waist of 0.413μm and TPA cross section of 2×10-54cm4s was obtained. While we tried to optimize parameters, we also did some research about its applications. With TPA photo-polymerization by means of our experimental system, 3D photonic crystal of wood-pile structure twelve layers and photonic crystal fiber are manufactured. These results proved that the micro-fabrication system of TPA can not only obtain the resolution down to sub-micron level, but also realize real 3D micro-fabrication.
