The inherent optical nonlinearity of multiphoton absorption
(MPA) allows for the localization of photophysical and photochemical
processes within a tight focal volume, the position of which
can be controlled in three dimensions. This feature of MPA
has led to numerous advances in 3-D imaging and fabrication
in recent years. I will discuss two particular applications
of MPA, multiphoton-absorption-induced luminescence for the
detection of single nanoparticles and the fabrication of functional
3-D microdevices.
