3D photo-responsive optical devices manufactured by advanced printing technologies
摘要:
响应于外部光刺激的光子器件正吸引越来越多的兴趣,因为它们的特性可以通过具有快速开关时间、高空间分辨率和潜在的遥控的光来操纵。这些方面可以通过新的架构来进一步增强,这些架构最近已经通过3D打印和增材机械制造工艺的可用性而实现。然而,目前的方法仍然局限于无源光学材料,而光响应材料需要开发3D打印技术,能够保持光敏化合物的光学特性,并实现高空间分辨率以精确控制光的传播。此外,3D打印材料中的光学损耗也是一个需要解决的问题。在这里,我们报告了先进的增材机械制造工艺,专门设计用于在3D光学器件中嵌入光响应化合物。3D打印设备的性能可以通过外部UV和可见光光束控制,特征切换时间在1-10 s范围内。
英文摘要:
Photonic components responsive to external optical stimuli are attracting increasing interest, because their properties can be manipulated by light with fast switching times, high spatial definition, and potentially remote control. These aspects can be further enhanced by novel architectures, which have been recently enabled by the availability of 3D printing and additive manufacturing technologies. However, current methods are still limited to passive optical materials, whereas photo-responsive materials would require the development of 3D printing techniques able to preserve the optical properties of photoactive compounds and to achieve high spatial resolution to precisely control the propagation of light. Also, optical losses in 3D printed materials are an issue to be addressed. Here we report on advanced additive manufacturing technologies, specifically designed to embed photo-responsive compounds in 3D optical devices. The properties of 3D printed devices can be controlled by external UV and visible light beams, with characteristic switching times in the range 1-10 s.
