Femtosecond laser-induced two-photon polymerization of inorganic-organic hybrid materials for applications in photonics

Opt Lett. 2003 Mar 1;28(5):301-3. doi: 10.1364/ol.28.000301.

Abstract

Investigations of two-photon polymerization of inorganic-organic hybrid materials initiated by femtosecond Ti:sapphire laser pulses are performed. First applications of this technique for the fabrication of three-dimensional microstructures and photonic crystals in inorganic-organic hybrid polymers with a structure size down to 200 nm and a periodicity of 450 nm are discussed.
