Three-dimensional laser nanofabrication with adaptive optics

Ben Cumming completed his PhD thesis entitled 'Three-dimensional laser nanofabrication with adaptive optics' at Swinburne's Centre for Micro-Photonics. His work involved the investigation, development and application of an adaptive reprogrammable microscope system that can act as a 3D printer for objects that are smaller than the width of a human hair. By integrating reprogrammability into the microscope, Ben was able to demonstrate microscopic 3D printing with the highest possible quality. His work has provided a significant tool for researchers around the world who are looking for techniques and methods that will enable future innovation in nanotechnology.
