Laser writing and analyzing of microstructures on the surface of the carbazole-containing azopolymer thin film. (a) Optical setup for laser writing of microstructures on the surface of the carbazole-containing azopolymer thin film. Insets show an example of a phase mask of a multi-sector plate used in the experiments for the transformation of a CVB into a hybrid CVB and an optical microscopy image of the microstructures fabricated on the surface of the carbazole-containing azopolymer thin film using a second-order CVB. (b) Scheme of synthesis and chemical structure of EPC:DO3 and transmission spectra of EPC:DO3 azopolymer film. Green arrow indicates wavelength of recording laser (532 nm). (c) Optical setup for optical characterization of the fabricated microstructures on the surface of the carbazole-containing azopolymer thin film.
