Matrix-Assisted Pulsed Laser Thin Film Deposition by Using Nd:YAG Laser

Figure 7

DRIFT-IR spectra of POOPT drop cast and MAPLE deposited using different laser radiation wavelength (IR: 1064 nm, VIS: 532 nm, and UV: 355 nm). The shape and intensity of the 1270 cm−1 band suggest a highly regular disposition of the polymer side chains and, consequently, of the polymer backbone. The lowering of the bands at 560 cm−1 and at 806 cm−1 in films deposited using IR or UV laser radiation suggests that in these films some decomposition phenomena occurred, likely at the polymer backbone-side chain level.
