Researchers have developed a new 3D printing method called blurred tomography that can rapidly produce microlenses with commercial-level optical quality. The new method may make it easier and faster ...

3D printing of silica glasses and silica optical fiber preforms has recently been proved experimentally. One challenge of 3D printing silica optical fibers performance is how to extend the recent ...

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have optimized and 3D-printed helix structures as optical materials for terahertz (THz) frequencies, a potential way to address a ...

Multi-photon lithography and optical tweezers are among the tools driving a new generation of 3D printing that will allow multifunctional devices to be fabricated in a single processing step, explain ...
