Methods of fabricating an object via direct laser lithography are provided. In embodiments, such a method comprises illuminating, via an optical fiber having an end facet and a metalens directly on the end facet, a location within a photosensitive composition from which an object is to be fabricated with light, thereby inducing a multiphoton process within the photosensitive composition to generate a region of the object; and repeating the illuminating step one or more additional times at one or more additional locations to generate one or more additional regions of the object.

Systems and methods for direct laser writing

A method for creating metadevices includes receiving, at a computing device, one or more boundary conditions for a metadevice. The method also includes processing, with an inverse-design algorithm stored in a memory of the computing device, the one or more boundary conditions to generate a metadevice structure design that satisfies the one or more boundary conditions. The method also includes converting, by a processor of the computing device, the metadevice structure design into a file that is compatible with an additive manufacturing device. The method further includes providing the file of the metadevice structure design to the additive manufacturing device.
