We develop laser processes and systems that use short-pulse laser light as a tool to create three-dimensional structures with high resolution in the micrometre range. This provides flexible and rapid prototyping methods for producing a variety of structures in a wide range of materials. Applications are diverse and range from micromachining using laser ablation to laser lithography using multi-photon absorption. The laser processes developed allow a combination of subtractive, additive and modifying laser processes.
