Applications
- Surface and bulk micromachining
- Two-photon Polymerization
- Ablation
Newport’s workstation for laser direct-writing processing is designed to be integrated with several lasers to perform both 2D and 3D micromachining in different materials. In this solution from Newport, high-end stages are stacked on top of each other in order to move the sample around a fixed laser beam. A user-friendly interface allows users to create diverse patterns on their choice of substrate. This complete solution from Newport includes a detailed list of parts that will help the researchers assemble their own application specfic station.
For a full description of the workstation, please see Application Note 39 .

Front panel of the software used to run the laser direct-writing workstation. As an example, a file employed to fabricate a hexagonal shaped pyramid by TPP is shown.
Scanning electron microscopy image of three microstructures fabricated by TPP. The sample was tilted 45º in order to reveal the three-dimensional nature of the microstructures. The scale bar is 20 µm.
SEM (a) and confocal microscopy (b) images of the word NEWPORT fabricated by TPP. The red and blue letters in (b) correspond to resins doped with Rhodamine B and Coumarin 334 respectively. The scale bar is 20 µm.
