Recent progress in the field of single‐ and two‐photon nanofabrication, both 2‐ and 3‐dimensional, in photopolymerizable resins and in films of photoisomerizable azopolymers are reviewed. The basic processes as well as technological advances and applications of nanofabrication by light are discussed. Recent advances and achievements in polymer photomechanics and light‐activated molecular movement in azopolymers are also reviewed.

“…It has attracted attention since it leads to the development of new functional nanomaterials and devices. − There are many nanofabrication techniques from top-down lithographic methods using electron beam or nanosized probe tips to bottom-up ones based on chemical synthesis including self-assembly reactions. − When ordinary light (i.e., propagating light) is used as the processing tool, fabrication on the subwavelength scale is difficult due to the diffraction limit. However, nanofabrication beyond the diffraction limit is possible if optical near field, which is localized in a subwavelength region but not propagated, − is employed.…”

Plasmonic nanofabrication beyond the diffraction limit of light is based on chemical and electrochemical reactions induced by plasmonic near field, and it has been applied to the construction of functional nanomaterials and nanodevices. Generation of optical near field is possible even at nonplasmonic dielectric nanostructures including semiconductors. In the present work, we employed In:ZnO as a semiconductor photocatalyst. Hexagonal In:ZnO nanoplates were adsorbed onto a glass plate and irradiated with linearly polarized UV light to drive reductive deposition of Ag. The optical near field induced by the polarized light gave site-selective Ag deposition and, thereby, optical anisotropy reflected by linear dichroism (LD) signals. The optical anisotropy was not introduced by unpolarized UV light. The LD spectra were successfully reproduced by electromagnetic simulations.

The micro/nano probe tip of a scanning probe microscope irradiated by a laser to induce near-field tip enhancement (NFTE) is a state-of-the-art technique of nanoscience that has witnessed significant advances in cutting-edge research. This technique can be applied to the field of nanofabrication and nanojoining/ nanomanipulation to enable the fabrication of nano-/molecular-scale devices. However, literature reviews are currently unavailable in the areas of nanofabrication, nanojoining, and nanomanipulation, preventing researchers from accessing a comprehensive understanding of NFTE. Herein, the essential principles and recent applications of NFTE induced by laser-irradiated SPM probe tips are reviewed. The physical mechanism and the limiting factors are summarized in detail. The pivotal applications of NFTE in nanofabrication, nanojoining, and nanomanipulation are highlighted, along with the challenges and perspectives on NFTE for the fabrication of nanostructures. This review offers insight into NFTE for the advancement of nanotechnology. With in-depth theoretical and experimental research, the NFTE is expected to have a significant impact on industrial applications of nanotechnology.
