Multiphysics simulation of microstructure formation by self-propagating photopolymer waveguides

A 3D multiphysics solver which combines beam propagation with chemical kinetics for simulating self-propagating photopolymer waveguides is presented. The solver is shown to predict various experimentally observed phenomena and is used to simulate the formation of micro-truss structures consisting of...

Description
Summary:A 3D multiphysics solver which combines beam propagation with chemical kinetics for simulating self-propagating photopolymer waveguides is presented. The solver is shown to predict various experimentally observed phenomena and is used to simulate the formation of micro-truss structures consisting of intersecting photopolymer waveguides.
