用于飞秒激光纳米加工的TiO_2粒子阵列诱导多种基底表面近场增强

利用纳米粒子辅助对飞秒激光能量进行空间局域化,使其在基底表面诱导产生纳米尺度的近场增强,这对超衍射极限微结构加工具有重要意义.目前对于粒子阵列诱导飞秒激光纳米孔加工的研究仅限于金属Au粒子及低折射率聚苯乙烯介电粒子等,本文提出并开展了应用高折射率TiO_2介电粒子阵列作为辅助诱导激光近场增强从而进行飞秒激光超衍射纳米孔加工的研究.对TiO_2介电粒子阵列在Si,Pt及SiO_2表面的近场强度分布进行了数值模拟,研究其基底表面近场增强的规律及物理过程.研究结果发现,使用硅基底时,阵列与单一TiO_2球形粒子相比其近场增强仅下降约30%;相对于入射激光强度而言,在直径约为100nm的空间范围内获得140倍的近场增强,这一现象可用于百纳米孔的激光加工.同时在其他典型基底的理论计算结果中也表明,几乎在所有金属及介电材料表面均可以实现良好的百纳米空间范围内的近场增强,并且具有近场随着基底折射率变大而增强的规律.这些现象的产生归因于TiO_2粒子中磁四极振荡产生的激光前向场增强及粒子与基底的耦合作用.进一步引入镜像电荷模型对基底光学参数对其表面近场增强的影响规律进行了分析和解释.本文的模拟结果对飞秒激光近场超衍射极限纳米加工的应用有着重要的意义.

Nanoparticle formation during laser ablation of solids in liquids

The experimental data on the generation of metal and semiconductor nanoparticles during their laser ablation in liquids is reviewed. The dependence of the morphology of noble metal nanoparticles on the liquid type and laser parameters is discussed. The data on the kinetics of the formation of alloyed Au-Ag nanoparticles under laser irradiation of a mixture of colloid solutions of individual nanoparticles are presented. The effect of femtosecond laser beam self-action during metal ablation in liquids via the second harmonic generation at Ag nanoclusters is discussed. The data on the generation of core-shell nanoparticles during laser ablation of alloys and in the presence of the chemical interaction of formed nanoparticles with surrounding liquid are presented. It was shown that laser ablation of CdS and ZnSe crystals leads to the formation of quantum dots of these semiconductors in solution. The parameters controlling the properties of nanoparticles during ablation in liquids and possible applications of the method are discussed.     

Parallel fabrication of silicon concave microlens array by femtosecond laser irradiation and mixed acid etching

A method of multi-beam femtosecond laser irradiation combined with modified HF-HNO_3-CH_3 COOH etching is used for the parallel fabrication of all-silicon plano-concave microlens arrays(MLAs). The laser beam is split by a diffractive optical element and focused by a lens to drill microholes parallely on silicon. An HF-HNO_3-H_2SO_4-CH_3 COOH solution is used to expand and polish laser-ablated microholes to form microlenses. Compared with the HF-HNO_3-CH_3 COOH solution,the solution with H_2SO_4 can effectively reduce the etched surface roughness. The morphologies of MLAs at different laser powers and pulse numbers are observed. The image array formed by the silicon microlenses is also demonstrated.     

A novel femtosecond-laser formation of CdS nanocrystallites in zirconia matrices

A novel method for direct laser writing of two-dimensional cadmium sulfide (CdS) semiconductor nanoparticle microstructures is reported. A two photon or a higher-order multiphoton absorption process, originating from femtosecond laser pulses, was used to decompose CdS precursors dispersed in a zirconia thin film previously dip-coated on a glass substrate. The kinetics of nanoparticle formation as a function of laser power were monitored in situ by photoluminescence spectroscopy. Raman spectroscopy was also performed to characterize the structural changes of the zirconia matrix under irradiation and to verify the formation of CdS nanoparticles. Results show that CdS nanoparticles were formed by two-photon absorption (TPA) with or without the help of an additional carbazole photoinitiator.

Intense femtosecond shaped laser beams for writing extended structures inside transparent dielectrics

We review recent results on the propagation and self-focusing of intense femtosecond laser pulses with shaped beam profiles in transparent dielectric media. At sufficiently high optical power, beam shaping seeds into the transverse modulation instability and results in the deterministic placement of intense laser filaments within the beam profile. Resulting spatial filament distributions may be utilized for writing complex extended structures inside transparent dielectrics. Specific examples of beam shapes we will discuss are Bessel beams, optical vortices, Bessel beams of higher order, and Airy beams.     

Microfabrication of gold dots in SiO2/TiO2 glass films by two-photon absorption

Photogeneration of Au nanoparticles in SiO₂/TiO₂ glass films was carried out by two-photon absorption with a femtosecond pulse laser. Exquisite microdot-arrays of Au with micrometer spatial resolution were achieved by scanning of the focused laser beam. These structures were constructed in SiO₂/TiO₂ glass films by a sol–gel method. The sol–gel method demonstrated that Au dots microarray are fabricated at any position by two-photon absorption in the glass. The results show the utility of a two-photon absorption technique in the fabrication of complicated patterns with metal particles.     

Threshold effect in femtosecond laser induced nanograting formation in glass: influence of the pulse duration

Recently, femtosecond laser direct writing in porous glass is emerging as a powerful technique for building arbitrary 3D hollow micro/nanostructures in bulk glass materials. In this study, we investigate the pulse duration dependence of laser intensity window for inducing a single nanocrack inside porous glass by femtosecond laser direct writing. We find that the window for a single nanocrack increases with the pulse duration, while the roughness of side walls in the nanocracks becomes higher for pulses longer than ~300 fs. When the femtosecond laser pulses of an optimized duration of ~200 fs are chosen, a sufficiently broad range of laser intensity (~44 % of the structuring threshold) for creating a single nanocrack can be obtained, while smooth sidewalls required by nanofluidic applications can still be maintained. The reported results will be beneficial not only for the development of the 3D femtosecond laser micro/nanostructuring techniques, but also for gaining a deeper understanding of the physical mechanism behind the nanograting formation induced by femtosecond laser irradiation in glass and other transparent materials.     

Fabrication of magneto-optical microstructure by femtosecond laser pulses

We investigate femtosecond laser direct writing (FLDW) in the fabrication of magneto-optical (MO) microstructures. The experimental results show that FDLW can introduce positive refractive index change in the MO materials. With the increase of the writing intensity of femtosecond laser pulses, refractive index change increases, whereas Verdet constant of the damaged area decreases nonlinearly. With suitable writing intensity, we obtain a single-mode waveguide in which Verdet constant is 80% of the bulk MO glass.     

In-situ bioconjugation in stationary media and in liquid flow by femtosecond laser ablation

In-situ functionalization of gold nanoparticles with fluorophore-tagged oligonucleotides is studied by comparing femtosecond laser ablation in stationary liquid and in biomolecule flow. Femtosecond laser pulses induce significant degradation to sensitive biomolecules when ablating gold in a stationary solution of oligonucleotides. Contrary, in-situ conjugation of nanoparticles in biomolecule flow considerably reduces the degree of degradation studied by gel electrophoresis and UV–Vis spectrometry. Ablating gold with 100 μJ femtosecond laser pulses DNA sequence does not degrade, while the degree of fluorophore tag degradation was 84% in stationary solution compared to 5% for 1 mL/min liquid flow. It is concluded that femtosecond laser-induced degradation of biomolecules is triggered by absorption of nanoparticle conjugates suspended in the colloid and not by ablation of the target. Quenching of nanoparticle size appears from 0.5 μM biomolecule concentration for 0.3 μg/s nanoparticle productivity indicating the successful surface functionalization. Finally, increasing the liquid flow rate from stationary to 450 mL/min enhances nanoparticle productivity from 0.2 μg/s to 1.5 μg/s, as increasing liquid flow allows removal of light absorbing nanoparticles from the ablation zone, avoiding attenuation of subsequent laser photons.
