Abstract

Recent work in three-dimensional microstructuring of photosensitive materials by femtosecond lasers is reviewed. The applications of nonlinear and quenching phenomena allow one to overcome both surface absorption and the diffraction limit to produce 3D microstructures with sub-diffraction limit resolution. Potential applications in the emerging fields of photonics and microfluidics are discussed.
