Abstract
Nanofabrication using two-photon-photopolymerision (2PP) can be used to create complex 3D structures with sub-diffraction-limited resolution for studying a range of microscopic systems. In this work we discuss how the addition of a spatial light modulator (SLM) can optimise the printing process through in-situ aberration correction and wavefront engineering. We show how digital holograms are used to control and fabricate complex patterns using various Gerchberg-Saxton algorithms. We demonstrate the necessity for aberration correction when printing using many independently controlled foci and fabricate devices that are used to study complex biological systems.
