Title
Non-Linear Lithography: Principles, Materials and Applications
Location
Department of Physics Bldg., Voutes, 3rd floor Seminar Room
Time
16:00
Language
English
Abstract
NonLinear Lithography is a technique that allows the fabrication of three-dimensional structures with sub-100 nm resolution. It is based on multi-photon absorption; when the beam of an ultra-fast laser is tightly focused into the volume of a transparent, photosensitive material, polymerization can be initiated by non-linear absorption within the focal volume. By moving the laser focus three-dimensionally through the material, 3D structures can be fabricated. The technique has been implemented with a variety of materials and several components and devices have been fabricated such as photonic crystals, biomedical devices, and microscopic models.
The unique capability of NonLinear Lithography lies in that it allows the fabrication of computer-designed, fully functional 3D devices. In
this seminar we summarize the principles of microfabrication, and present our recent work in materials processing and functionalization
of 3D structures. Finally, we discuss the future applications and prospects for the technology.

Title
Morphological changes on semiconductor surfaces
after irradiation with ultrashort-pulsed lasers
Location
Department of Physics Bldg., Voutes, 3rd floor Seminar Room
Time
16:00
Language
English
Abstract
Femtosecond laser pulses provide unique possibilities for
high-precision material processing. Understanding of the underlying
physics and fundamental mechanisms that take place in materials
irradiated by ultrashort laser pulses can facilitate optimization of
experimental parameters in current applications and development of
contemporary pulsed laser technologies.
The fundamentals of the physical mechanisms are employed to conduct
a thorough investigation of ultrashort pulsed laser induced surface
modification due to conditions that result in a superheated melted
liquid layer and material evaporation are considered.
The proposed theoretical model aims to address the laser-material
interaction in sub-ablation conditions and thus minimal mass removal
in combination with a hydrodynamics-based scenario of the crater
creation and ripple formation following surface irradiation with
single and multiple pulses, respectively. The development of the
periodic structures is based on a synergy of electron excitation and
capillary wave solidification and the interference of the incident
wave with a surface plasmon wave.
A hybrid theoretical model is also presented to describe
thermoplastic deformation effects on silicon surfaces induced by
single and multiple ultrashort pulsed laser irradiation in submelting
conditions.
Some early results of a similar mechanism is presented to describe
thermal response of other types of materials (i.e. bimetallic layers)
upon irradiation with ultrashort pulsed lasers.

Title
Acoustical methods for the monitoring of the marine environment
Location
Department of Physics Bldg., Voutes, 3rd floor Seminar Room
Time
16:15
Language
English
Abstract
Acoustic waves are efficient carriers of information on the domain through which they propagate. Especially in sea water acoustics play
the role of electromagnetic waves in the atmosphere, and they are extensively used for communication for source and target localization
and identification, as well as for general monitoring of the properties of the marine environment.
The presentation summarizes the history of underwater acoustics, give some hints on the theoretical background of acoustic wave propagation in the marine environment, addressing both the forward and inverse problems related to the numerous applications of acoustical oceanography and concludes with some ideas on the development of acoustical observatories for the continuous monitoring of the marine environment.
