Abstract
Using direct femtosecond laser patterning of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) sandwich designed to support Fabry-Perot mode in the visible spectral range we demonstrate new practically relevant strategy for high-resolution color printing. Irradiation of the MIM sandwich by tightly focused laser pulses allows to produce unique 3D surface nanostructures – hollow nanobumps and nanojets - locally modulating surface reflectivity. Laser processing parameters control the 3D shape of such nanostructures allowing to gradually tune the reflected color from reddish brown to pure green. Up-scalable ablation-free laser fabrication method paves the way towards various applications ranging from large-scale structural color printing to optical sensors and security labeling at a lateral resolution of 25,000 dots per inch.
