  • Optical patterning systems and methods
    Patent number: 11448965
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for patterning two-dimensional atomic layer materials, the methods comprising: illuminating a first location of an optothermal substrate with electromagnetic radiation, wherein the optothermal substrate converts at least a portion of the electromagnetic radiation into thermal energy, and wherein the optothermal substrate is in thermal contact with a two-dimensional atomic layer material; thereby: generating an ablation region at a location of the two-dimensional atomic layer material proximate to the first location of the optothermal substrate, wherein at least a portion of the ablation region has a temperature sufficient to ablate at least a portion of the two-dimensional atomic layer material within the ablation region, thereby patterning the two-dimensional atomic layer material. Also disclosed herein are systems for performing the methods described herein, patterned two-dimensional atomic layer materials made by the methods described herein and methods of use thereof.
