Active mechanical metamaterials are emerging materials receiving tremendous attention in
the past decades. Additive manufacturing (AM, or 3D printing) techniques empower the …

Research in recent years has greatly advanced the understanding and capabilities of multi-
beam interference (MBI). With this technology it is now possible to generate a wide range of …

Two limitations of additive manufacturing methods that arise from layer-based fabrication are
slow speed and geometric constraints (which include poor surface quality). Both limitations …

3D printing technologies have expanded beyond the research laboratories where they were
used solely for prototy** and have become widely used in several industries. The …

In this study, a novel fabrication process, to the best of our knowledge, was developed to
fabricate a glass harmonic diffractive lens. In this process, a polymethylmethacrylate master …

As additive manufacturing technologies proliferate and mature, overcoming some of their
process limitations becomes increasingly important for the continued expansion of practical …

Multibeam interference represents an approach for producing one-, two-, and three-
dimensional periodic optical-intensity distributions with submicrometer features and …

Purpose This paper aims to provide a full introduction, new classification, comparison and
investigation of the challenges as well as applications of layerless 3D printing, which is one …

We report a combined holographic and nanoimprinting lithography technique to produce
three-dimensional woodpile photonic crystal templates through only one single exposure …

High-precision fabrication of nanoscale periodic structures is utilized in a wide range of
applications, including wire grid polarizers, photonic crystals, and light-emitting diodes …
