Abstract

The mass transporting properties of the surface relief grating (SRG) photofabrication on azobenzene polymer films is discussed precisely using an existing fluid mechanics model. Formulation for the SRG inscription rate is derived analytically from Navier-Stokes equation. In consequence, the dependence of inscription rate of the SRG on the experimental and geometrical parameters was explained very well by the model. The photoinduced surface deformation with an onedimensional Gaussian laser beam was also carried out in order to establish the validity and the generality of our fluid mechanics model. The experimentally obtained surface deformation profile is well reproduced by the theoretical model generalized for arbitrary force field profile.
