Abstract

The project aims at advancing the field of photonic manufacturing by introducing a novel hybrid process based on fs lasers. This hybrid approach will solve the difficulties of realizing LOC combining 3D glass microfluidic networks with 3D polymer microcomponents. This technology enables the direct fabrication of polymeric components in the microfluidic networks for the on-chip integration of functionalities such as sensing and manipulation of bio and chemical materials. The devices developed in the project, will find applications in many different fields of biotechnology, such as medical diagnostics, environmental monitoring, agriculture and food quality, protection against hazardous agents. A further step will be the implementation of a parallel processing with multiple beams to provide a novel route for scaling up process throughput and reducing manufacturing costs.

Obiettivi

The main objectives of the project will be:
- Demonstration of the possible combination of subtractive and additive photonic manufacturing on the same device and with the same laser-system;
- Engineering of the laser beam by a Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) to improve the quality of the manufacturing process, and to overcome the serial nature of the technique by parallelizing the manufacturing process;
- Demonstration of the technology disruptive potential by the production of innovative LOCs with 3D layouts and integrated optical and other functionalities.
