| Lecture Abstract |
Laser nano-manufacturing is a recently emerged technology that is still in its infancy. This presentation gives an overview the recent developments of basic technologies on laser based nano-manufacturing including surface patterning and lithography techniques beyond diffraction limit, laser based methods for the production of nano-materials (e.g. nanoparticles, nanowire, nano-tubes etc) and laser based additive manufacturing for nano-3D printing. Scientific challenges are discussed, applications examples are given and outlook of the future trend is presented. |
