The Femtoprint project uses femtosecond lasers to develop a printer for micro-/nano-scale systems. Femtoprint provides a large community of users with the capability of producing their own micro-systems, in a rapid-manner without the need for expensive infrastructures and specific expertise.
Microsystems perform sophisticated tasks in miniaturized volumes. Shaping or analyzing light signals, mixing ultra-small volumes of chemicals, sensing mechanical signals, manipulating micro-objects, sequencing bio-molecules are common operations that can be done by these tiny machines. To further advance the field, there is a growing interest for integrated manufacturing platform where optics, fluid...
We show that locally altering fused silica with femtosecond laser irradiation forms the basis for a novel manufacturing technology platform to produce highly integrated microsystems. In contrast to many common approaches that rely on combining materials to achieve particular functions, our scheme utilizes a single piece of material, whose properties are locally modified using femtosecond laser irradiation...
Low-energy femtosecond laser pulses can be used to introduce various functionalities in fused silica that can be combined or distributed to form integrated microsystems suitable for optofluidics and optomechanics applications.
