This process enables direct fabrication of three dimensional microfluidic channel architectures with generally unlimited channel length. Based on nonlinear ultrashort pulse laser absorption of high intensities around the focal volume, a material modification including a refractive index shift is triggered. After laser exposure the channel is created by a gaseous degradation of exposed areas during an annealing process. The 3D channel layout can easily be realized by moving the specimen using 3D motorized stages, allowing freely chosen complex shaped channel architectures. In this report, the creation of inner lying vertical microchannels is examined. In addition to previously shown horizontal channel architectures vertical channels are necessary to fulfill the definition of an internal three-dimensional microfluidic structure and to create interconnections in multilevel lab on chip devices. The cross section and geometry of vertical channels are strongly influenced by laser parameters such as pulse duration, laser power and writing speed. The influence of these process parameters on the channels diameter is determined and parameters are optimized regarding a controllable, stable and reproducible process. The functionality of vertical microchannels as an interconnection between multilayer microfluidic devices is demonstrated using a Rhodamine B solution.}, subject = {Polymethylmethacrylate}, language = {en} } @article{SchwarzRungEsenetal.2018, author = {Schwarz, Simon and Rung, Stefan and Esen, Cemal and Hellmann, Ralf}, title = {Fabrication of a high-quality axicon by femtosecond laser ablation and CO2 laser polishing for quasi-Bessel beam generation}, series = {Optics Express}, volume = {26}, journal = {Optics Express}, number = {18}, pages = {23287 -- 23294}, year = {2018}, subject = {Femtosekundenlaser}, language = {en} } @article{RothEsenHellmann2018, author = {Roth, Gian-Luca and Esen, Cemal and Hellmann, Ralf}, title = {Control of femtosecond laser generated microfluidic channels inside poly (methyl methacrylate)}, series = {Journal of Laser Applications}, volume = {30}, journal = {Journal of Laser Applications}, number = {3}, pages = {032016-1 -- 032016-6}, year = {2018}, abstract = {In this study, the authors report on femtosecond laser direct generation of microchannels inside poly(methyl methacrylate) with variable dimensions ranging from a channel height of 20 to 350 μm and an aspect ratio down to 1.2. Focused ultrashort laser pulses are used to trigger a material modification in the focal area which can be selectively opened by a subsequent annealing process. A 3D microchannel architecture can easily be realized by moving the specimen using motorized stages, allowing freely chosen complex shaped channel layouts. While the laser wavelength is identified as one of the main parameters determining process effectiveness, another core of this study is the variation of channel dimensions by the numerical aperture of the applied objective to focus the laser. The authors find that both size and shape of the modified region and the resulting microchannel can be controlled by altering the numerical aperture.}, subject = {Femtosekundenlaser}, language = {en} }
