摘要

Abstract

In this work

we report a novel soft diffractive micro-optics

called 'microscale kinoform phase-type lens (micro-KPL)'

which is fabricated by femtosecond laser direct writing (FsLDW) using bovine serum albumin (BSA) as building blocks and flexible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) slices as substrates. By carefully optimizing various process parameters of FsLDW (e.g.

average laser power density

scanning step

exposure time on a single point and protein concentration)

the as-formed protein micro-KPLs exhibit excellent surface quality

well-defined three-dimensional (3D) geometry and distinctive optical properties

even in relatively harsh operation environments (for instance

in strong acid or base). Laser shaping

imaging and other optical performances can be easily achieved. More importantly

micro-KPLs also have unique flexible and stretchable properties as well as good biocompatibility and biodegradability. Therefore

such protein hydrogel-based micro-optics may have great potential applications

such as in flexible and stretchable photonics and optics

soft integrated optical microsystems and bioimplantable devices.
