Abstract: Two-photon or multi-photon absorption based 3D laser nanoprinting has become an established, versatile and commercially available technology for the making of complex three-dimensional nano-and micro-architectures with applications in optics, mechanics, and biology. Here, we discuss replacing two-photon absorption by two sequential one-photon absorption processes (nicknamed "two-step absorption"). This replacement allows for using inexpensive and compact continuous-wave lasers rather than femtosecond lasers. This includes one-color two-step absorption for scanning-focus 3D nanoprinting and two-color two-step absorption for parallelized light-sheet 3D microprinting.
