Abstract

Our recent progress in the direct-write femtosecond laser material processing technologies, nanostructuring, and fabrication of photonic devices is reviewed. Special attention is given to the sub-wavelength microstructuring of metals and two-photon polymerization (2PP) technique. Formation of microbumps and nanojets on thin metal films under single pulse laser irradiation is discussed. Microstructuring of different photosensitive materials by 2PP technique is demonstrated. Numerous applications of this technology for the fabrication of 3d structures, waveguides, photonic crystals, etc. are studied.
