Abstract

Due to constraints imposed by the geometry characteristics of optical fibers and conventional preparation strategies, the development of “Lab on Tip” devices faces significant challenges. By introducing two-photon polymerization (TPP) technology, it becomes feasible to develop arbitrarily complex 3D structures with nanoscale features on fiber tips. However, the serial scanning process of TPP is too slow to accommodate the extensive application expansion of fiber tip devices. Herein, a hybrid femtosecond laser 3D processing technology (termed “FPL-DLW”), developed by combining femtosecond projection lithography (FPL) with direct laser writing (DLW), is reported. FPL is adopted to print bulk base structures and DLW is employed for precision realization of functional nanostructures. Using a common polarizing beam splitter as a bridge, the two independent optical systems with different polarized light sources are facilely integrated to realize hybrid processing. The FPL-DLW utilizes FPL (high-efficiency) and DLW (high-precision) to flexibly fabricate multiple types of fiber tip functional devices, whose processing efficiency can be boosted by up to two orders of magnitude compared to using DLW alone. These results validate that the authors’ method provides a universal solution for the rapid integration of micro–nanostructures on various fiber end facets, which is challenging with existing TPP technologies.

光纤上功能光学器件快速集成的混合飞秒激光三维加工技术
由于光纤几何特性和传统制备策略的限制,“尖端实验室”器件的发展面临着重大挑战。通过引入双光子聚合(TPP)技术,在光纤尖端上开发具有纳米级特征的任意复杂三维结构成为可能。然而,TPP的串行扫描过程太慢,无法适应光纤尖端器件的广泛应用扩展。本文报道了一种结合飞秒投影光刻(FPL)和直接激光写入(DLW)技术的混合飞秒激光3D加工技术(称为“FPL - DLW”)。采用FPL打印大块基结构,采用DLW实现功能纳米结构的精确实现。利用一个共偏振光分束器作为桥接,将两个具有不同偏振光源的独立光学系统方便地集成在一起,实现混合处理。FPL - DLW利用FPL(高效率)和DLW(高精度)灵活制造多种类型的光纤尖端功能器件,与单独使用DLW相比,其加工效率可提高两个数量级。这些结果验证了作者的方法为各种光纤端面的微纳米结构快速集成提供了一种通用解决方案,这是现有TPP技术的挑战。
