Partition laser assembling technique

Abstract

The advancement of micro/nanofabrication techniques with high throughput, efficiency, and flexibility is critical for fields like integrated photonics, biosensing, and medical diagnostics. This study presents Partition Laser Assembling (PLA), a novel laser technique for fabricating complex micro/nanostructures akin to puzzle pieces. By dividing the target patterns described by scalable vector graphics into partitions, any structures in each partition can be fabricated via structured lights as "light stamp" through spatial light modulation. Unlike traditional direct laser writing, PLA eliminates reliance on mechanical components, avoiding step-like artifacts and ensuring smoother fabrication of complex micro/nanostructures. By seamlessly assembling basic shapes, PLA achieves intricate structures like micro artworks and metalenses with unmatched precision and resolution. Leveraging two-photon fabrication, PLA guarantees high resolution and structural integrity, positioning it as a transformative tool for nanoscale 3D printing. With applications spanning research and industry, PLA paves the way for advanced optical devices, micro/nanofabrications, and next-gen manufacturing technologies.
