We demonstrate the use of laser-based direct-write methods, namely laser-induced forward transfer and laser-induced photo-polymerization as printing and patterning tools for the fabrication of paper-based fluidic sensors that enable affordable point-of-care medical diagnostics. OCIS codes: (350.3390) Laser materials processing; (220.4610) Optical fabrication; (280.1415) Biological sensing and s...

Laser-materials interaction is the fascinating nexus where laser physics, optical physics, and materials science intersect. Applications include microdeposition via laser-induced forward transfer of thin films, clean materials processing with femtosecond beams, creating color filters with nanoparticles, generating very high density storage sites on subpicosecond time scales, structuring solar c...

An overview on femtosecond laser pulse shaping techniques applied to control of the initial photo-physical steps involved in materials processing is presented. First, pulse shaping methodology in frequency domain is introduced and examples of shaped pulses relevant to laser microfabrication are discussed. Then, the use of tailored femtosecond pulses to control the initial steps of laser process...
