| description | Laser processing is a versatile tool that enhances smart materials for diverse industries, allowing precise changes in material properties and customization of surface characteristics. It drives the development of smart materials with adaptive properties through laser modification, utilizing photothermal reactions and functional additives for meticulous control. These laser-processed smart materials form the foundation of 4D printing that enables dynamic shape changes depending on external influences, with significant potential in the aerospace, robotics, health care, electronics, and automotive sectors, thus fostering innovation. Laser processing also advances photonics and optoelectronics, facilitating precise control over optical properties and promoting responsive device development for various applications. The application of computer-generated diffractive optical elements (DOEs) enhances laser precision, allowing for predetermined temperature distribution and showcasing substantial promise in enhancing smart material properties. This comprehensive overview explores the applications of laser technology and nanotechnology involving DOEs, underscoring their transformative potential in the realms of photonics and optoelectronics. The growing potential for further research and practical applications in this field suggests promising prospects in the near future. |
