A thorough introduction to 3D laser microfabrication technology,
leading readers from the fundamentals and theory to its various potent
applications, such as the generation of tiny objects or
three-dimensional structures within the bulk of transparent materials.
The
book also presents new theoretical material on dielectric breakdown,
allowing a better understanding of the differences between optical
damage on surfaces and inside the bulk, as well as a look into the
future.
Chemists, physicists, materials scientists and engineers
will find this a valuable source of interdisciplinary knowledge in the
field of laser optics and nanotechnology.
