RAPID COMMUNICATION Quantifying the quality of femtosecond laser ablation of graphene
نویسندگان
چکیده
The influence of beam intensity on laser ablation quality and ablation size is experimentally studied on graphene-coated silicon/silicon dioxide substrates. With an amplified femtosecond-pulsed laser system, by systematically decreasing the average power, periodic stripes with decreasing widths are ablated. Histogram analyses of the untouched and ablated regions of scanning electron microscope images of the fabricated structures make it possible to quantify the ablation quality. These analyses reveal that submicron ablation can be achieved while maintaining 75 % ablation accuracy by adjusting the beam intensity around the ablation threshold.

We developed a simple, scalable and high-throughput method for fabrication of large-area three-dimensional rose-like microflowers with controlled size, shape and density on graphene films by femtosecond laser micromachining. The novel biomimetic microflower that composed of numerous turnup graphene nanoflakes can be fabricated by only a single femtosecond laser pulse, which is efficient enough ...
متن کاملLaser ablation- and plasma etching-based patterning of graphene on silicon-on-insulator waveguides.
We present a new approach to remove monolayer graphene transferred on top of a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) photonic integrated chip. Femtosecond laser ablation is used for the first time to remove graphene from SOI waveguides, whereas oxygen plasma etching through a metal mask is employed to peel off graphene from the grating couplers attached to the waveguides. We show by means of Raman spectro...

We experimentally investigate the acoustic characteristic of micro plasma shock wave obtained by femtosecond laser ablation of silicon wafer surface using F-P optical fiber acoustic sensor with anti electromagnetic interference. The experimental results show that each of the femtosecond laser pulse can only produce a plasma shock wave. Under the different femtosecond laser energy, the acoustic ...
