Short description of company
The word nanotechnology is derived from “nanos”, the Greek word for dwarf, and stands for the technology,
which opens up the world of atoms and molecules to engineering: here, molecular building blocks can be made
into completely new materials with tailored properties, on a scale of a millionth of a millimetre.
With the design of new optical, optoelectronic and photonic components and systems, experts at the Institute
supply the fundamental principles for the continually growing range of technical uses for nanostructured
materials. The main emphasis of the work is on organic materials and organic-inorganic systems.
Their self-set goal reaches far beyond simple research and development work. Through close cooperation with
industry, the aim is to actively support local companies in introducing the technology of the new millennium – from
characterisation of materials to production of laboratory samples and development of production processes, right
through to their integration in existing production plants.
1. Profile: Expertise: Three-dimensional two-photon laser micro- and nanostructuring
DESCRIPTION:
Three-dimensional two-photon laser micro- and nanostructuring allows
the fabrication of prototypes and small volume products of nearly any
three dimensional shape and structure in organic and hybrid materials.
We are looking for industrial applications, which are based on three dimensional
components of any shape requiring high resolution and high surface quality.
Up to now we fabricated components like waveguides, micro-surface topographies,
photonic structures and prototypes of microlenses. We see a large potential for our technique
in the ares of heterointegration, integrated sensorssystems, optoelectronics,
microfluidics, microoptics and myn others.
Our three-dimensional two-photon laser micro- and nanostructuring lab-system
(installed in a clean-room enviroment) has a CAD input for the desired three
dimensional structure (which could be also a 3-D picture or a hand drawing).
The 3-D structure is written by a laser voxel (which could be of sub-micron diameter)
into polymer or hybrid materials sensitized with special two-photon reagents.
The components we frequently fabricate are smaller than a millimeter in dimension
with sub-micrometer resolution and optical surface quality.
