Physicists are learning to carve laser beams into intricate shapes that can grab hold of electrons and push them with a precision that once sounded like science fiction. Instead of simply blasting ...

(a) Schematic diagram of the ion implantation and laser direct writing processes; (b) typical LSPR effect of gold nanoparticle; (c) Color ribbons fabricated on the surface of lithium niobate crystal ...

Meanwhile, DLW, based on the interaction between light and matter, is an efficient, contactless, mask free, and depth-resolved micro-patterning technique. It is typically performed by coupling a laser ...
