Method and system for elongating voxel in multiphoton fabrication

Abstract

A method of elongating voxel includes-importing 3D model and slicing or otherwise turning into fabrication suitable movement pattern;-determining via software what parts of structure requires high resolution and which needs to be filled completely; —using a femtosecond laser source based multiphoton setup to emit ultrashort pulse, with duration from 40 fs to 10 ps, repetition rate from 1 kHz to 500 MHz, wavelength from 380 nm to 2000 nm and diameter from 1 mm to 10 mm; —using a beam shaping element to generate masks for volume filling to each translation during fabrication resulting in elongated voxel in focal plane of focusing element; —during fabrication, positioning system is translating sample while beam shaping element is projecting mask needed to generate spatial distribution appropriate for that particular segment of the printed structure. Also a system for elongating voxel according to the method.
