Research Summary

Currently, laser is an essential tool for processing and synthesis of materials and thereby is widely employed for practical use. Our research unit aims at research and development of advanced laser processing which realizes low environmental load, high quality, high efficiency fabrication of materials by the joint research with Shanghai Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics, Chinese Academy of Science. Specifically, by using femtosecond and picosecond lasers that emit ultrashort pulses with an extremely high peak intensity, novel material processing that cannot be performed by the other conventional techniques is developed. The developed techniques include three-dimensional micro/nanofabrication, high aspect ratio machining, and synthesis of new materials, which are applied for fabrication of biochips and high function photonic and electronic microdevices.
