Abstract

In this study, we present the fabrication route of quasicrystal surface relief grating (SRG) of azopolymer. Based on photo-reconfigurable azobenzene property, various morphologies of grating patterns were inscribed on azopolymer thin-films by two-beam coupling light interference lithography (LIL) process. Multiplexing the LIL with different rotation sequence on azopolymers resulted in unusual surface structures including quasicrystal-like SRGs with Fibonacci sequences in rotational LIL. We investigated the effect of rotation sequence on the grating patterns by atomic force microscope, revealing that rotation sequence is a critical parameter determining surface structures of azopolymer films.
