3D Laser Microfabrication: Principles and Applications

A thorough introduction to 3D laser microfabrication technology, with a particular focus on the usage of ultra-short (sub-I ps) laser pulses leading readers from the fundamentals and theory to its various potent applications, such as the generation of tiny objects or three-dimensional structures within the bulk of transparent materials. The book also presents newly reconsidered theoretical material on dielectric breakdown by femtosecond laser pulses, allowing a better understanding of the differences between optical damage on surfaces and inside the bulk, as well as a look into the future.
Chemists, physicists, materials scientists and engineers will find this a valuable source of interdisciplinary knowledge in the field of laser optics and nanotechnology.
