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.

该项目旨在通过超短脉冲激光对晶体进行 3D 雕刻，创建用于天文和生物医学应用的微光学器件。该项目将引入一种新的光学探针 3D 制造方法，该方法具有自对准微光学元件和光纤，适用于宽光谱范围和高质量的光学表面。该项目的预期成果包括为工业环境建立微光学探针的新功能，为国际天文学合作伙伴建立新的解决方案，以及开发通过光纤成像的新技术。这应该通过改进天文仪器带来显着的好处，并导致微创内窥镜检查。
