Abstract
We demonstrate the laser induced forward transfer of fluorescent dye solution thin films by employing a single 532-nm nanosecond optical vortex pulse. Upon irradiating the laser pulse, a single microdroplet is ejected from the donor film, and it is forwarded onto a glass substrate a few hundreds of micrometers away from the film. The optical vortex enables us to print well-aligned microdots with the same diameter of 30 µm on the substrate, whereas a conventional Gaussian beam prevents the production of microdots in uniform size. The optical vortex laser induced forward transfer allows the development of micro-patterning of functional materials.
