Light‐Directed Soft Mass Migration for Micro/Nanophotonics

Abstract: In this review, it is argued that soft mass migrations, driven and guided by spatially controlled photopolymerization and photochromic isomerization (also called directional plastic deformation or photofluidization of azobenzene materials), offer toolsets for optical engineers to develop various micro/nanophotonic materials and devices that are not readily available with conventional lithographic methods and self‐assembly techniques. In this direction, the two seemingly different concepts of (i) photopolymeriz… Show more

“…The mapping studies indicate that the laser-induced displacement of the material is non-destructive, and analogous to the light-induced surface fluidization seen in azobenzene-containing polymer films. [50][51][52] These observations indicate that the ability to cleanly 'machine' (trans-azo)(dioxane) using low-power visible light is an emergent property of the cocrystal formation.…”
