Finer features for functional microdevices
Satoshi Kawata1, Hong-Bo Sun1, Tomokazu Tanaka1 & Kenji Takada1
Compared with light or electron-beam lithography, the virtue of two-photon photopolymerization1 as a tool for making microdevices lies in its three-dimensional capability, which has found application in photonic devices2, 3, 4 and micromachines1, 5, 6 with feature sizes close to the diffraction limit. Here we show that the diffraction limit can be exceeded by non-linear effects to give a subdiffraction-limit spatial resolution of 120 nanometres.
