Abstract: A rapidly printing 3D nanostructures arrangement, comprising a first photonic source configured to provide photoinitiation energy to a polymer medium via a dynamic light spatial modulator to an excited state to initiate polymerization, a second photonic source configured to selectively provide inhibition energy to the polymerized medium to a depleted state to inhibit polymerization thereby generating a dead zone below a growth zone, the dead zone allows continuous 3D polymerization.

Abstract: A volume Fresnel zone plate and a method of producing such a device using a femtosecond laser for direct writing of zone plates. A volume zone plate has a number of Fresnel zone plate layers designed to focus light coherently to a single spot. Embodiments include both low numerical aperture (NA) and high NA zone plates, and provide a significant increase in overall diffraction efficiency over a single Fresnel zone plate.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for producing electronic components using thick-film inks, and the electronic components manufactured therefrom. The thick-film inks, which include silver and copper inks are applied to a substrate and sintered with a laser. This process allows the fabrication of components on low temperature substrates.
