Optical glass fiber optimized using 3D printing Electronics

by Business

An interdisciplinary team of researchers from Korea, Australia, Great Britain, and Germany – with the participation of the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (Leibniz IPHT) – were able to, for the first time, optimize an optical glass fiber in such a way that light of different wavelengths can be focused extremely precisely. This level of accuracy was achieved by 3D nanoprinting an optical lens, which was applied to the end of the fiber. This opens up new possibilities for applications in microscopy and endoscopy as well as in laser therapy and sensor technology.
