Femtosecond optical vortex-induced flower-shaped surface relief structures in an azo-polymer film

We study the formation of surface relief structures in azo-polymers generated via two-photon induced photoisomerization using a femtosecond near-infrared optical vortex laser beam. These structures exhibit exotic flower-like shapes with petals along the azimuthal direction, and they are formed from...
