An alternative discretization and solution procedure for implicitly solving a 3-D microscale heat transport equation during femtosecond laser heating of nanoscale metal films has been developed (Kunadian et al. [1]). The proposed numerical technique directly solves a single partial differential equation, unlike other techniques available in the literature which splits the equation into a system of two equations and then apply discretization. The present paper investigates performance of its split and unsplit methods of solution via numerical experiments using Gauss–Seidel, conjugate gradient, generalized minimal residual and δ-form Douglas–Gunn time-splitting methods to compare the computational cost involved in these methods. The comparison suggests that the unsplit method [1] employing δ-form Douglas–Gunn spatial time-splitting is the most efficient way in terms of CPU time taken to complete the simulation of solving the 3-D time dependent microscale heat transport equation.

An alternative discretization and solution procedure is developed for implicitly solving a microscale heat transport equation during femtosecond laser heating of nanoscale metal films. The proposed numerical technique directly solves a single partial differential equation, unlike other techniques available in the literature which split the equation into a system of two equations and then apply discretization. It is shown by von Neumann stability analysis that the proposed numerical method is unconditionally stable. The numerical technique is then extended to three space dimensions, and an overall procedure for computing the transient temperature distribution during short-pulse laser heating of thin metal films is presented. Douglas-Gunn time-splitting and delta-form Douglas-Gunn time-splitting methods are employed to solve the discretized 3-D equations; a simple argument for stability is given for the split equation. The performance of the proposed numerical scheme will be compared with the numerical techniques available in the literature and it is shown that the new formulation is comparably accurate and significantly more efficient. Finally, it is shown that numerical predictions agree with available experimental data during sub-picosecond laser heating.

AbstractReal 3-D sub-νm lithography was performed with two-photon polymerization (2PP) using inorganic-organic hybrid polymer (ORMOCER®) resins. The hybrid polymers were synthesized by hydrolysis/polycondensation reactions (modified sol-gel synthesis) which allows one to tailor their material properties towards the respective applications, i.e., dielectrics, optics or passivation. Due to their photosensitive organic functionalities, ORMOCER®s can be patterned by conventional photo-lithography as well as by femtosecond laser pulses at 780 nm. This results in polymerized (solid) structures where the non-polymerized parts can be removed by conventional developers.ORMOCER® structures as small as 200 nm or even below were generated by 2PP of the resins using femtosecond laser pulses. It is demonstrated that ORMOCER®s have the potential to be used in components or devices built up by nm-scale structures such as, e.g., photonic crystals. Aspects of the materials in conjunction to the applied technology are discussed.

Abstract This paper presents the use of pulsed laser stimulation with picosecond and femtosecond laser pulses. We first discuss the resolution improvement that can be expected when using ultrashort laser pulses. Two case studies are then presented to illustrate the possibilities of the pulsed laser photoelectric stimulation in picosecond single-photon and femtosecond two-photon modes.

Abstract Metasurfaces composed of regularly arranged and deliberately oriented metallic nanoparticles can be employed to manipulate the amplitude, phase and polarization of an incident electromagnetic wave. The metasurfaces operating in the visible to near infrared spectral range rely on the modern fabrication technologies which offer a spatial resolution beyond the optical diffraction limit. Although direct laser writing is an alternative to the fabrication of nanostructures, the achievement of regular nanostructures with deep-subwavelength periods by using this method remains a big challenge. Here, we proposed and demonstrated a novel strategy for regulating disordered plasmonic nanoparticles into nanogratings with deep-subwavelength periods and reshaped nanoparticles by using femtosecond laser pulses. The orientations of the nanogratings depend strongly on the polarization of the femtosecond laser light. Such nanogratings exhibit reflection and polarization control over the reflected light, enabling the realization of polarization sensitive optical memory and color display with high spatial resolution and good chromacity.
