3D Microprinting of Lanthanide-Based Polymers on Optical Fibers: A Platform for Multiplexed Sensing
3D direct laser writing (DLW) has emerged as a powerful tool for fabricating optical-quality nano- and microstructures [1] with diverse applications. To extend the functionality of DLW, recent efforts have focused on using active printing materials rather than static ones. These materials enable additional functionalities, such as responsiveness to external stimuli, and are thus referred to as 4D microprinting [2]. In the fields of optics and photonics, smart color filters have been developed by incorporating absorptive dyes into the printing material [3], as well as pH-sensitive microstructures using amphichromatic-doped materials [4].
