This project aims to create micro-optics for astronomical and bio medical applications by 3D sculpturing them out of crystals by ultra-short pulse lasers. This project will introduce a new 3D fabrication approach of optical probes which have self-aligned micro-optical elements and optical fibres for a wide spectral range and with high quality optical surfaces. Expected outcomes of this project include building new capabilities in micro-optical probes for industrial environments, establishing new solutions for international astronomy partners, and developing new techniques to image through optical fibres. This should provide significant benefits by improving astronomical instrumentation and also lead to less invasive endoscopy.

该项目旨在通过3D通过超短脉冲激光器从晶体中雕刻出来，为天文学和生物医学应用创建微观镜头。该项目将引入一种新的3D制造方法的光学探针方法，该方法具有自对齐的微光元素和光纤范围，具有高质量的光学表面。该项目的预期结果包括在工业环境中建立新功能，为工业环境建立新的解决方案，为国际天文伙伴建立新的解决方案，并通过光纤开发新技术来形象。这应该通过改善天文仪器来提供重大的好处，并导致侵入性内窥镜较少。
