Abstract
We present what to our knowledge is a new application of optical frequency upconversion of images in quadratic materials to dynamic UV microstereolith ography. A 150 x 150 point visible image transmitted by a liquid-crystal di splay was upconverted in a lithium triborate crystal, and the UV image was successfully used to polymerize a commercial stereolithographic resin.
