This grant provides funding to develop an innovative 3-D additive manufacturing process capable of producing uniform metal and polymer features with nanometer resolution for applications in optics, photonics, biomaterials and other areas. The project will combine the patterning resolution and scaling benefits provided by the recently developed optical trap assisted nanopatterning method with the 3-D additive capabilities of ultrafast multiphoton polymerization processing. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to attain a deeper fundamental understanding of these processes, which will be gained through controlled experiments that are aimed at determining the relationship between the experimental parameters and the resulting properties of the deposited materials. Armed with this detailed knowledge, the project will then proceed to develop a working model that predicts how to control feature size and material properties.If successful, this research will have a profound impact on a number of diverse application areas where multiscale and multifunctional 3-D architectures are needed to advance functionality, such as in photonic materials, optoelectronics, microfluidics, tissue engineering, etc. Broad dissemination in these areas through publications and international presentations will ensure researchers gain widespread benefit from our studies. It is envisioned that this research is a seed for a novel international collaboration between researchers at Princeton and University of Erlangen-Nurenberg, School of Advanced Optical Technologies (UEN-SAOT) in Germany for 3-D laser based manufacturing. To this end, funds have been allocated to support the travel to UEN-SAOT where other researchers and students will be trained in this developing technology.

该赠款提供了资金，以开发创新的3-D增材制造工艺，能够生产均匀的金属和聚合物特征，并通过纳米分辨率用于光学，光子学，生物材料和其他领域的应用。 该项目将结合最近开发的光学陷阱辅助纳米图案方法提供的模式分辨率和缩放效益，以及超快多光子聚合处理处理的3-D添加功能。 为了实现这一目标，有必要对这些过程有更深入的基本理解，这些过程将通过受控实验获得，旨在确定实验参数与沉积材料的产生特性之间的关系。 Armed with this detailed knowledge, the project will then proceed to develop a working model that predicts how to control feature size and material properties.If successful, this research will have a profound impact on a number of diverse application areas where multiscale and multifunctional 3-D architectures are needed to advance functionality, such as in photonic materials, optoelectronics, microfluidics, tissue engineering, etc. Broad dissemination in these areas through publications and international presentations will ensure researchers gain我们的研究广泛受益。 可以预见的是，这项研究是普林斯顿大学研究人员与德国高级光学技术学院（UEN-SAOT）研究人员之间进行新的国际合作的种子，用于基于3D激光的制造。 为此，已经分配了资金来支持前往UEN-SAOT的旅行，在该旅行中，其他研究人员和学生将接受这项开发技术的培训。
