CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 27, 2012 — The Archetto 3, manufactured by Parian Technologies, is an interference lithography system for use in materials science and biology.

Using newly available blue laser diodes and a patent-pending spatial filtering approach, the optical system enables users to produce controlled 1- and 2-D periodic nanostructures with pitches ranging from 230 nm to 1 μm, over a 1-cm2 area.

The tabletop system measures 30.48 × 60.96 × 30.48 cm and weighs 9.07 kg. It does not require a vibration isolation table and can produce periodic nanostructures within minutes of assembly.

It uses interfering light beams to expose a standing wave in photoresist.

Output power is approximately 1 mW, required line voltage is from 90 to 264 VAC, and frequency is from 50 to 60 Hz.
