Increase of Two Photon Polymerization throughput by using Spatial Light Modulators

This work will introduce two strategies for increasing the productivity of 2PP based on the use of advanced optics to parallelize the writing process leading to the fabrication of 3D microstructures by flushing with tens, or even hundreds, or points at the same time. These two will be based on using Spatial Light Modulators (SLMs), either in in imaging and Fourier configurations. The optimization of the projected light pattern for the fabrication of the targeted 3D features with the highest fidelity possible will be presented, demonstrating how, by using the adequate corrected image, both productivity and resolution of 2PP can be tackled at the same time.
