Feb 5, 2013 -- The Mazur Group received a 2013 Outstanding Research Award from Biophotonic Solutions for advances in direct laser writing. The award was presented to Kevin Vora during Photonics West in San Francisco. More

Dec 5, 2012 -- The Journal of Visualized Experiments published a video article by the Mazur Group. The article details steps to fabricate silver nanostructures in 3D using a femtosecond laser. The video format provides experimental details that will aid researchers implement the process in their own experiments. More

Silver nanostructures on glass substrate

Mar 8, 2012 -- In a SEAS press release, Caroline Perry reports on a recent article in the journal Applied Physics Letters resulting from research conducted by the Mazur Group. A technique developed in the group uses femtosecond laser pulses to create 3D patterns of silver nanostructures embedded in a polymer. The technique may represent an important step towards bulk metamaterial fabrication. More

Femtosecond laser fabrication

Aug 20, 2005 -- James Tyrell reports for Optics.org on the development of an all-optical vibration sensor in a collaboration between the Mazur Group and a group from Keio University in Japan. The sensor is immune to electromagnetic fields and temperature variations, and can be used to detect structural damage in extreme conditions. For full details see the recently published paper on this subject. More

Optical vibration sensor

Jan 29, 2003 -- A poster by Raffael Gattass and Iva Maxwell on the machining of embedded waveguides was judged to be the premier poster during the poster reception at the Photonics West Conference. The $1000 award was sponsored by a number photonics companies. More

Mar 10, 2000 -- In the new "Verge" section, the April issue of Wired Magazine features a short piece on femtosecond laser micromachining of glass, with emphasis on data storage applications. More
