    3D direct laser writing of highly absorptive photoresist for miniature optical apertures
    (2022) Schmid, Michael D.; Toulouse, Andrea; Thiele, Simon; Mangold, Simon; Herkommer, Alois; Giessen, Harald
    The importance of 3D direct laser writing as an enabling technology increased rapidly in recent years. Complex micro-optics and optical devices with various functionalities are now feasible. Different possibilities to increase the optical performance are demonstrated, for example, multi-lens objectives, a combination of different photoresists, or diffractive optical elements. It is still challenging to create fitting apertures for these micro optics. In this work, a novel and simple way to create 3D-printed opaque structures with a highly absorptive photoresist is introduced, which can be used to fabricate microscopic apertures increasing the contrast of 3D-printed micro optics and enabling new optical designs. Both hybrid printing by combining clear and opaque resists, as well as printing transparent optical elements and their surrounding opaque apertures solely from a single black resist by using different printing thicknesses are demonstrated.

    Opposed-view dark-field digital holographic microscopy
    (2014) Faridian, Ahmad; Pedrini, Giancarlo; Osten, Wolfgang
    Scattering and absorption belong to the major problems in imaging the internal layers of a biological specimen. Due to the structural inhomogeneity of the specimen, the distribution of the structures in the upper layers of a given internal structure of interest is different from the lower layers that may result in different interception of scattered light, falling into the angular aperture of the microscope objective, from the object in each imaging view. Therefore, different spatial frequencies of the scattered light can be acquired from different (top and bottom) views. We have arranged an opposed-view dark-field digital holographic microscope (DHM) to collect the scattered light concurrently from both views with the aim to increase the contrast of internal structures and improve the signal-to-noise ratio. Implementing a DHM system gives the possibility to implement digital refocusing process and obtain multilayer images from each side without a depth scan of the object. The method is explained and the results are presented exemplary for a Drosophila embryo.
