Abstract
In the current PhD thesis a thorough study is performed on the design, fabrication and analysis of microstructures created by use of laser methods. The work comprises the design and fabrication of organic, inorganic and hybrid microstructures for use in photonics applications. In addition, several techniques are applied for the fabrication and replication of photonic diffractive microstructures. Fabricated structures are tested as potential functional photonic sensors for humidity, ammonia and temperature detection. Furthermore, a detailed study on polymer-based microstructures creation by laser radiation forces is attempted both theoretically and experimentally. The created 2D and 3D free-standing micro/nanostructures are optically characterized.
