Multi-shot laser ablation and digital micromirror device mask translation for sub-diffraction-limit machining resolution
Multi-shot laser ablation and digital micromirror device mask translation for sub-diffraction-limit machining resolution
Digital Micromirror Devices (DMDs) can offer rapidly generated, bespoke intensity modulation masks for image-projection-based laser-machining. Recent work has shown repeatable sub-micron feature patterning [1], with proposed applications in the medical sciences and photonics. While DMDs can offer rapid patterning, with ~32kHz switching speeds available [2], they are not yet efficient reflectors at <300nm, thus limiting machining resolution to the diffraction limit at the near-visible wavelengths and above.

Abstract
Digital Micromirror Devices (DMDs) can offer rapidly generated, bespoke intensity modulation masks for image-projection-based laser-machining. Recent work has shown repeatable sub-micron feature patterning [1], with proposed applications in the medical sciences and photonics. While DMDs can offer rapid patterning, with ~32kHz switching speeds available [2], they are not yet efficient reflectors at <300nm, thus limiting machining resolution to the diffraction limit at the near-visible wavelengths and above.
