As a platform for high resolution bioimaging, biochips with a refractive index very close to that of a culture medium (water) are highly demanded. CYTOP (AGC Corporation) is a promising material, since its refractive index (1.34) is almost similar to that of water (1.33). However, high transparency in also the ultraviolet region and high chemical resistance of CYTOP make it difficult to fabricate 3D microstructures for biochips. In this study we present fabrication method of 3D biochips based on CYTOP for cell observation by the molding process using 3D micro/nanostructures fabricated by two-photon polymerization with femtosecond laser.

To identify the formation of periodic nanostructures induced by superimposed multiple shots of femtosecond laser pulses on transparent materials, we developed a novel in-process monitoring technique by observing the reflectivity and the transmittance of the surface. The transmittance at the glass surface having the line-like periodic nanostructures with a period of ~200 nm and a depth of ~1 μm achieved 200% in the center of the ablation trace. By simulating the time-dependent electromagnetic-field distribution of the illumination light passing through the nanostructured surface, the high transmittance can be attributed to anti-reflection and lens effects induced by a low refractive index with the nanostructured surface.

The GHz burst mode femtosecond (fs) laser pulses have attracted considerable attention because they can perform better quality and higher efficiency ablation compared to the conventional irradiation scheme of fs pulses (single-pulse mode). Recently, we have demonstrated that the GHz burst mode fs laser pulses can create two-dimensional (2D) periodic surface structures (LIPSS) on Si surfaces. In this paper, we extend the GHz burst mode fs laser processing to form LIPSS on Ti plates. Our aim was to further investigate the more detailed mechanism and explore practical applications. Although the material characteristics of Ti are significantly different from Si, the GHz burst mode fs laser pulses can also create 2D-LIPSS. Then, mesenchymal stem cells cultured on the formed 2D-LIPSS were found to exhibit different behavior on 1D-LIPSS as compared with bare Ti surfaces.

Formation of homogeneous LIPSS on ZnO by two-beam interference of femtosecond laser pulses

Irradiation of femtosecond laser pulses at laser fluence near ablation threshold triggers formation of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS). The formed LIPSS is, however, usually spatially inhomogeneous. Homogeneous LIPSS are preferred for many applications. We have reported that a single nanogroove can be formed by precisely controlling the laser fluence. Based on this result, single nano grooves were able to be formed at the centers of some fringes formed by two-beam interference of femtosecond laser pulses. The formed single nanogrooves acted as a seed to create homogeneous LIPSS in a large area by scanning the laser beams.

We report on recent research on the development of data-driven ultrashort pulse laser processing to achieve higher productivity and quality. We are developing in-process monitoring, artificial intelligence (AI) optimization, and fast active control of the laser based on them. These key technologies are introduced for micro-drilling of metals and transparent materials and laser-induced periodic surface structure (LIPSS) formation on a silica glass. We demonstrate a fast pulse-to-pulse modulation of the fluences to control the ablation efficiency. A deep neural network was utilized to predict the 3-dimensional shapes of the ablation craters depending on the laser parameters (fluence and pulse duration). The scheme was extended to 10 sequential modulations of fluences. An in-process monitoring of the crack formation on glasses was implemented by optical transmission imaging with deep neural network. The optical reflection/transmission technique was also employed to probe the quality of the LIPSS formation on a silica glass.
