In particular, Prof. Booth will show how adaptive aberration correction and dynamic parallelization can improve precision and reliability and increase the accessible volume and speed of these systems. The applications of this laser writing technology range from quantum optics, through radiation sensing to security marking of diamond gemstones. In addition, the imaging methods include applications in cell biology, neuroscience and super-resolution microscopy.
