Abstract

A method for polymerizing monomer units and/or oligomer units is disclosed. Said method is characterized in that the energy required for polymerization is introduced into the monomer units and/or oligomer units to be polymerized by means of infrared light pulses, wherein the infrared light pulses have a wavelength of 2500 to 20000 nm, an intensity of more than 1014 W/m2, a duration of more than 8 fs and less than 3 ps and a substantially linear polarization.
