TL;DR: Three-dimensional (3D) micro/nano-structuring of photo-resists is systematically studied at the close-to-dielectric- breakdown irradiance and it is demonstrated that avalanche absorption is playing a major part in free electron generation and chemical bond breaking at these conditions.

TL;DR: In this article, the femtosecond laser-induced multi-photon polymerization of a zirconium-silicon based sol-gel photopolymer was employed for the fabrication of a series of micro-optical elements with single and combined optical functions: convex and Fresnel lenses, gratings, solid immersion lenses on a glass slide and on the tip of an optical fiber.

TL;DR: In this article, the degree of conversion and refractive index of the microstructures created by two-photon polymerization (TPP) were analyzed via Raman microspectroscopy and measured with the interferometric technique employing a Michelson interferometer.

TL;DR: In this article, a femtosecond laser-induced photopolymerization is used to construct microlenses for microscopy applications, where the fabrication resolution is not restricted to the diffraction limit for the applied laser excitation wavelength but is determined by the intensity of a focused beam.

TL;DR: This interdisciplinary study suggests that proposed technique and materials are suitable for tissue engineering applications.
