Abstract

Single- and two-photon absorption are prominent additive manufacturing methods used in 3D light-based printing through polymerization. We propose the dual use of these methods simultaneously to speed up the printing process while maintaining high resolution. We show a blue light-sheet implementation to assist the polymerization by a femtosecond laser. The light-sheet speeds up the printing considerably by reducing the threshold as well as yielding good optical sectioning, and 2PP provides precise and complex structures in micro- and nanometer scales with high resolution. This method offers new possibilities for printing high-resolution 3D structures with a significant improvement in voxel printing speed.
