Fabrication of Topologically-Complex 3D Microstructures by Femtosecond Laser Machining and Polymer Molding

Yves Bellouard

We demonstrate the demolding of topologically complex three-dimensional elastomeric microstructures from a femtosecond laser micromachined glass substrate. Demolding success rates of > 90% are achieved, which are qualitatively supported by a simple mechani ...

Closed-loop control of laser assisted chemical vapor deposition growth of carbon nanotubes

Yves Bellouard

Laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition growth is an attractive mask-less process for growing locally aligned nanotubes in selected places on temperature sensitive substrates. An essential parameter for a successful and reproducible synthesis of nanotubes ...

Optically transparent glass micro-actuator fabricated by femtosecond laser exposure and chemical etching

Yves Bellouard

Femtosecond laser manufacturing combined with chemical etching has recently emerged as a flexible platform for fabricating three-dimensional devices and integrated optical elements in glass substrates. Here, we demonstrate an optically transparent micro-ac ...

Optical classification of algae species with a glass lab-on-a-chip

Yves Bellouard

The identification of submillimetre phytoplankton is important for monitoring environmental and climate changes, as well as evaluating water for health reasons. Current standard methods for phytoplankton species identification require sample collection and ...

Lab on a chip technologies for algae detection: a review

Yves Bellouard

Over the last few decades, lab on a chip technologies have emerged as powerful tools for high-accuracy diagnosis with minute quantities of liquid and as tools for exploring cell properties in general. In this paper, we present a review of the current statu ...

Direct volume variation measurements in fused silica specimens exposed to femtosecond laser

Yves Bellouard

We introduce a new method to investigate localized volume variations resulting from laser exposure. Our method is based on the measurement of fused silica cantilevers deflection from which we calculate the effective stress and density variation in laser-af ...

The Femtoprint Project

Yves Bellouard, Reymond Clavel, Jean-Marc Breguet

The Femtoprint project, a European project, aims at demonstrating the use of low-energy laser pulses (i.e. below the ablation threshold) to manufacture monolithically integrated devices including optofluidic, optomechanical and photonic devices. The longer ...

Femtoprint: A femtosecond laser printer for micro- and nano-scale systems

Yves Bellouard, Reymond Clavel

The Femtoprint project uses femtosecond lasers to develop a printer for micro-/nano- scale systems. Femtoprint provides a large community of users with the capability of producing their own micro-systems, in a rapid-manner without the need for expensive in ...

On the role of the scanning line density on the etching of fused silica specimens exposed to femtosecond lasers pulses

Yves Bellouard

Fused silica (a-SiO 2) exposure to low-energy femtosecond laser pulses (below ablation threshold) introduces a local increase of the HF etching rate. This property has been used to fabricate a variety of structures ranging from simple fluidic channels to m ...

IEEE2012

Fused silica (a-SiO2) exposure to low-energy femtosecond laser pulses leads to interesting effects such as a local increase of etching rate and/or a local increase of refractive index. Up to now the exact modifications occurring in the glass matrix after e ...
