Nanofabrication
through conventional methods such as electron beam
writing and photolithography is time-consuming, high cost, complex,
and limited in terms of the materials which can be processed. Here,
we present the development of a nanosecond Nd:YAG laser (532 nm, 220
mJ) in holographic Denisyuk reflection mode method for creating ablative
nanopatterns from thin films of four ink colors (black, red, blue,
and brown). We establish the use of ink as a recording medium in different
colors and absorption ranges to rapidly produce optical nanostructures
in 1D geometries. The gratings produced with four different types
of ink had the same periodicity (840 nm); however, they produce distant
wavelength dependent diffraction responses to monochromatic and broadband
light. The nanostructures of gratings consisting of blue and red inks
displayed high diffraction efficiency of certain wavelengths while
the black and brown ink based gratings diffracted broadband light.
These gratings have high potential to be used as low-cost photonic
structures in wavelength-dependent optical filters. We anticipate
that the rapid production of gratings based on different ink formulations
can enable optics applications such as holographic displays in data
storage, light trapping, security systems, and sensors.
