The particular of this method is the creation of the desired structure at the very location of its later application. A subsequent positioning is not required, i.e. a perfect alignment is possible. [[BR]][[BR]]Only in this way, 200nm silicon waveguides can be linked via 3d-printed free-form-waveguides („photonic-wirebonds“), which solves fundamental problems of integrated optics. Other options result from the capability to print free-form-lenses onto facets of optical components -like optical fibers-, whereby light is coupled much more efficiently into such fibers. But applications are not restricted to optics alone: Even the needle of a scanning-force-microscope is printable, such that each probe gets its optimal scanning head. [[BR]][[BR]]Philipp Dietrich's talk will focus on optical devices, but will also highlight possible applications for astronomy.[[BR]][[BR]]Presentation: German [[BR]][https://svn.mpia.de/trac/gulli/att/raw-attachment/wiki/AlteVortraege2017S1/2017-01-13_PrintedMicroOptics.pdf Slides: English][[BR]]Questions: German, English || |
