(b), (e) Longitudinal intensity profiles with white dashed lines as the predefined Hook and parabolic trajectories (top, simulations; bottom, experiments). (c), (f) Intensity profiles in the selected cross sections.

Fig. 6. DPH-based intensity control. Amplitudes profiles, simulated (Sim.) and experimental (Exp.) 2D intensity maps with three tailored on-axis intensity profiles: (a1)–(a5) linearly increasing, (b1)–(b5) linearly decreasing, and (c1)–(c5) uniform. The input and the target amplitude profiles are compared in the first row of each column.

Fig. 7. Comparison of the efficiencies of the two complex amplitude modulation methods for generating Bessel beams. The insets schematically represent the corresponding target on-axis intensity profiles of each tailored Bessel beam.

Fig. 8. DPH-assisted 2PP. (a) Schematic of the 2PP setup. The first row of (b1)–(e1) shows the relative position between the photoresist and the structured light beams. The second row, (b2)–(e2), and the third row, (b3)–(e3), show the SEM photos of the resulting microstructure fabricated via 2PP with the insets presenting the transverse intensity profiles in the experiments. Scaling bars in (b2) and (b3) represent 50 µm and others represent 5 µm.
