German researchers use 3D printing to create the world's smallest lens, which is only twice the size of a human hairline. The researchers claim that the miniature lens is expected to create a salt-sized camera that will bring life to medical imaging, covert surveillance, robotics and drone technology...
In order to achieve high precision in laminate manufacturing, researchers at the University of Stuttgart in Germany use ultrashort laser pulses – below 100 femtoseconds (fs) at 785 nm, in sub-micron (um) levels. The accuracy of the local hardening photoresist.
The researchers used a microscope to directly focus the laser pulse onto a liquid photoresist (on a glass substrate or fiber tip).
After exposure, the unexposed photoresist is then washed away with a solvent to leave a hardened transparent polymer. This allows researchers to design complex optical lens stacks, including common spherical lenses, parabolic or aspheric lenses.
Timo Gissibl, a Ph.D. student at the University of Stuttgart, prints miniature lenses with a diameter of 125 μm directly at the front end of the fiber, which can be used to achieve a miniaturized endoscope.

Timo Gissibl also prints surface fibers and micro-objects directly onto CMOS imaging chips to create extremely small sensors with integrated optics.
