Researchers have demonstrated that consumer-grade 3D printers and inexpensive materials can produce advanced optical ...

Multi-photon lithography and optical tweezers are among the tools driving a new generation of 3D printing that will allow multifunctional devices to be fabricated in a single processing step, explain ...

In future high-tech industries, such as high-speed optical computing for massive AI, quantum cryptographic communication, and ultra-high-resolution augmented reality (AR) displays, nanolasers—which ...

Canadian researchers have developed a new 3D printing method called blurred tomography that can rapidly produce microlenses with commercial-level optical quality. The new method may make it easier and ...

(Nanowerk News) A hybrid organic-inorganic polymer resin enables the three-dimensional (3D) printing of nanoscale optical-grade glass at temperatures roughly half of what other approaches require, ...

The printing techniques they report also could prove valuable in production of pharmaceuticals and chemicals. Microscopic image of a printed glass demonstration structure on tip of optical fiber.

(a) The schematic of the AOSS. The laser beam is deflected by inertial-free acousto-optic scanning. The wavefront of deflected laser is aberration-free due to the AODy being driven by a non-linear ...

This technique shared by [Andy Kong] is for 3D printed lenses, but would probably be worth a shot for any resin prints that need to be made nice and clear. The link to his post on X is here, but we’ll ...
