Abstract:
1. A device for cutting a structure including wire-like nanoscale objects roughly aligned in a same axis, comprising: a laser source configured to emit a laser beam in a form of laser pulses of a width of between 1 femtosecond and 300 femtoseconds; means to adjust energy of each laser pulse emitted to between 0.1 μJ and 10 mJ; means to set a repetition frequency of the emitted laser pulses to between 10 Hz and 10 kHz; means to polarize the emitted laser pulses linearly such that a laser pulse includes a first component in the axis of the nanoscale objects and/or of a second component in an axis perpendicular to the axis of the nanoscale objects; means to focus, on the structure, the linearly polarized laser pulses over a distance of centimeters, wherein a focal spot of the beam of laser pulses is between 10 μm and 500 μm, and a containment enclosure including:
