3D letter M (for Maryland) created using multiphoton absorption polymerization. To appear in "Multiphoton Fabrication," Christopher N. LaFratta, John T. Fourkas, Tommaso Baldacchini and Richard A. Farrer, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.
Microinductor created using multiphoton absorption polymerization followed by selective metallization. Also to appear in "Multiphoton Fabrication."
Welcome to the Fourkas Group web site.
Our research focus is on the use of ultrafast lasers and nonlinear optical techniques to probe, control and fashion condensed matter.
Some of our current areas of interest include multiphoton fabrication of
functional micro and nanodevices, development of new nonlinear optical microscopies,
and the structure and dynamics of confined liquids.
We hope you will enjoy this virtual tour of our research, and come back
often for the latest group news.
