Painting with Plasma: ITMO University Researchers Propose a Way of Fast and Inexpensive Glass Processing for Microoptics and Microfluidics
A research team from ITMO University has come up with a new technology for creating diffraction and microoptical elements on glass for use in photonics, laser systems and microfluidics. With its help, various diffraction elements for laser beam profile transformation and splitting can be produced fast and without much expense. ITMO.NEWS met with the researchers to find out what gives their idea an advantage compared to the traditional methods of transparent materials processing.

ISS Simulation Software, Laser Breathalyser and Metal 3D Printer: A Tour of Laser Systems
This year, ITMO University hosted the third winter school “It’s Your Call!” for participants of the “I am a Professional” student competition. Sberbank served as the general partner of the school that annually brings together students from all over Russia. The school consists of workshops, lectures and tours of major companies and research institutions. Last week, the participants went to Laser Systems, a high-tech company based in Strelna. There, they discovered how lasers can help make flights safer and detect the level of someone’s alcohol intoxication and saw a 3D printer working with metal powders.

ITMO University Scientists Found a Way to Release Drugs from Polymer Carriers in a Non-Invasive Way
The concept is based on the interaction of resonant semiconductor iron oxide Fe2O3 nanoparticles with light. They can get heated locally by a laser and convert the absorbed light into heat. If you modify the shell of the polymer containers (capsules) that are widely used as a carriers for the delivery of bioactive compounds in cells and irradiate them with a laser, the heat will deform the capsules and the loaded compounds will be released at the desired location and time. The research was published in Laser and Photonics Reviews.
