Two-photon lithography of nanorods in SU-8 photoresist

TLDR
In this article, two-photon lithography in negative SU-8 photoresist was used to obtain mechanically stable, stress-free, extended nanorods having lateral sizes of about 30 nm.
Abstract
Studies on two-photon lithography in negative SU-8 photoresist demonstrate the possibility of obtaining mechanically stable, stress-free, extended nanorods having lateral sizes of about 30 nm (corresponding to λ/25 resolution). The high resolution achievable with the given combination of materials and fabrication techniques demonstrates its potential for the fabrication of large-scale nanostructures, such as photonic crystals with photonic stop gaps at visible wavelengths.
