Multiphoton Optics GmbH

Multiphoton Optics GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of Heidelberg Instruments Mikrotechnik GmbH, is an innovative solution provider and global manufacturer for 3D Laser Lithography Equipment for additive, subtractive and ablative manufacturing processes based on Two-Photon-Polymerization (TPP) technology. This disruptive technology enables the production of complex functional structures in micro-optics and micro-system technology, optical packaging, micro-mechanics, and biomedical engineering.

The 3D printing plattform enables the highly-precise production of complex functional structures with the highest throughput in one single process step. Other advantages are the resolution in the sub-micron range, the high quality of optical components, accuracy and scalability, integration into nano- and micro-fabrication processes, printing of optical components, and on-device printing: structures can be printed directly on active (LEDs, photodiodes, EELs, VCSELs) or passive (fibers, irregular substrates) components.

The realization of completely new designs, the further miniaturization and the rationalization of manufacturing processes significantly accelerate the market launch of products and, thus, unlock significant cost savings for customers.

Main activities: • 3D Lithography via Two-Photon Polymerization (TPP) • Optical Interconnects (OI) / Packaging • Aspheres and freeform optics • Biomedical Engineering

Services • Implementation of TPP manufacturing processes • Prototyping and small series production • Construction of TPP equipment

Current top technologies: Manufacture of arbitrarily shaped 3D free-form surfaces and structures over several orders of magnitude, with a focus on optical interconnects (OI), and micro-optics.
