Claims16
Write head for producing an object by way of two-photon polymerization, comprising:
- a monolithic mode-locked laser diode,
- a microscope objective that is configured and arranged to focus laser radiation generated by the monolithic mode-locked laser diode.
Apparatus for producing an object by way of two-photon polymerization, comprising:
- a write head according to any one of the preceding claims,
- a holder for holding a photosensitive starting material, such that the object can be produced by way of two-photon polymerization from the photosensitive starting material using the write head.
Method for producing an object by way of two-photon polymerization, comprising:
- a) providing a photosensitive starting material,
- b) irradiating the starting material with laser radiation, such that the photosensitive starting material is polymerized locally by two-photon polymerization in such a way that the object is obtained from the starting material, wherein the laser radiation is generated by means of a monolithic mode-locked laser diode.
Use of a monolithic mode-locked laser diode for two-photon polymerization.
