Abstract

In this work, we present the successful application of Excited-State Intramolecular Proton Transfer (ESIPT) fluorophores as photoinitiators for microfabrication. The influence of chemical structure on such application was investigated, followed by two-photon polymerization. We have determined the quality of fabricated structures and polymerization thresholds for various dye/monomer weight ratios with a staggeringly low value of 11 nJ for one of the chromophores.
