This project aims to create micro-optics for astronomical and bio medical applications by 3D sculpturing them out of crystals by ultra-short pulse lasers. This project will introduce a new 3D fabrication approach of optical probes which have self-aligned micro-optical elements and optical fibres for a wide spectral range and with high quality optical surfaces. Expected outcomes of this project include building new capabilities in micro-optical probes for industrial environments, establishing new solutions for international astronomy partners, and developing new techniques to image through optical fibres. This should provide significant benefits by improving astronomical instrumentation and also lead to less invasive endoscopy.

该项目旨在通过超短脉冲激光从晶体中进行3D雕刻，为天文学和生物医学应用创造微光学。该项目将引入一种新的光学探头3D制造方法，该方法具有自对准的微光学元件和宽光谱范围的高质量光学表面的光纤。该项目的预期成果包括为工业环境建立微型光学探测器的新能力，为国际天文学合作伙伴建立新的解决方案，以及开发通过光纤成像的新技术。这将通过改进天文仪器和减少内窥镜检查的侵入性提供显著的好处。
