Direct laser writing has become a versatile and routine tool for the mask‐free fabrication of
polymer structures with lateral linewidths down to less than 100 nm. In contrast to its planar …

Driven by recent advances in rapid multiphoton single‐focus 3D laser nanoprinting,
multifocus variants thereof, and projection‐based multiphoton 3D laser nanoprinting, the …

Inspired by flagellate microorganisms in nature, the microhelix is considered as an ideal
model for transportation in fluid environment with low Reynolds number. However, how to …

Using a novel photoresist (composed of pentaerythritol triacrylate and isopropyl
thioxanthone) that favors stimulated emission depletion by a π‐π* transition and using a two …

Three-dimensional (3D) direct laser writing commonly uses near-infrared femtosecond laser
pulses. Here, we use a quasi-cw blue diode laser at a 405 nm wavelength. As prerequisite …

Structured laser beam based microfabrication technology provides a rapid and flexible way
to create some special microstructures. As an important member in the propagation of …

Microfabrication by using structured laser beams provides a rapid and facile way for creating
some specific microstructures. As an important member in the structured beam category …

Fabry-Pérot (FP) etalons are used as filters and sensors in a range of optical systems. Often
FP etalons are illuminated by collimated laser beams, in which case the transmitted and …

Publisher Summary This chapter presents the computation of the point-spread function of
optical imaging systems and the characterization of these systems by means of the …

Diffraction is a natural phenomenon, which occurs when waves propagate or encounter an
obstacle. Diffraction is also a fundamental aspect of modern optics: all imaging systems are …
