Confocal laser microscope writing of micro-patterns in broad-band light-emitting organic and insulating thin films

摘要

A confocal laser scanning microscope was used for the direct laser patterning of broad-band light-emitting organic Alq_3 thin films and LiF containing color centers by using spectrally selective photobleaching effects. It was also used as characterization tool to investigate the fluorescent structures with sub-micrometric spatial resolution.
