Direct laser writing of surface reliefs in dry, self-developing photopolymer films.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fabrication of surface reliefs is achieved by raster scanning dry photopolymer films under a focused laser beam. The formation of the structure takes place subsequent to illumination without any chemical treatment or wet processing. Computer-generated optical elements can be recorded quickly, easily, and at low cost. The technology is particularly well suited for rapid prototyping and design purposes. These photopolymer films have potential in photonics applications, such as diffractive optical elements and waveguide structures.

Three-dimensional direct-write lithography into photopolymer.
We demonstrate a three-dimensional direct-write lithography system capable of writing deeply buried, localized index structures into diffusion-mediated photopolymer. The system is similar to that used for femtosecond writing in glass, but has a number of advantages including greater flexibility in the writing media and the ability to use low power, inexpensive, continuous-wave lasers. This syst...

متن کاملManufacturing of Surface Relief Structures in Moving Substrates Using Photoembossing and Pulsed- Interference Holography
Photoembossing is a cost-effective technique for the production of complex surface relief structures in a photopolymer film, achieved via contact-mask exposure to UVlight. Here, photoembossing is explored using interference holography with a CWlaser and a nanosecond pulsed laser. It is shown that identical surface relief structures are produced if the photopolymer film is kept in a fixed positi...

Carbon nanotubes hold vast potential for device innovations because their optical and electronic properties can be synthetically tailored at a length scale unattainable by lithographic techniques. However, lithographic patterning of carbon nanotubes with electronic-type control remains one of the major problems for the integration of these nanomaterials for practical device applications. In thi...
متن کاملIn situ third-order non-linear responses during laser reduction of graphene oxide thin films towards on-chip non-linear photonic devices.
High-quality continuous (GO) thin films are prepared by a self-assembly method. Z-scan measurements during the laser-induced reduction process unveil in situ nonlinear responses in the GO film. Third-order nonlinear responses of the GO film can be tuned dynamically by varying the laser input fluence. GO thin films with tunable nonlinear responses and versatile patterning opportunities by using ...
