Abstract: The present invention features a liquid, solvent-free, silica precursor and two-photon 3D printing process to meet the increasing needs of high-precision glass micro-optics and address the major limitations of current three-dimensional (3D) printing optics. The printed optical elements may be fully converted to transparent inorganic glass at temperatures as low as 600° C. with shrinkages as low as 17%. The present invention includes a complete process chain, from material development, printing process, and performance evaluation of the printed glass micro-optics. 3D printing of glass micro-optics with isotropic shrinkage, micrometer resolution, low deviation peak-to-valley value (

Abstract: A system and method for printing a transparent object with an additive manufacture printer. The system includes a stage on which the object is to be produced, a dispenser coupled to a source of thermally-curable optical material positioned to deposit the thermally-curable optical material at a position on the stage, an ultrafast laser configured to direct radiation having a wavelength in the range 800 nm-2000 nm to the position, and at least one mechanism to cause relative movement between the stage and the dispenser, and relative movement between the stage and the laser.
