Optimisation of laser parameters for fabrication of microchannels on PMMA using Kr-F pulsed laser
Microchannels are most widely used in point of care (PoC) devices and microfluidic systems for medical and diagnostic applications. Fabrication of microchannels by traditional techniques has always been challenging. The current research is focused on fabricating them on polymers such as polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) for their bio-compatibility and other added advantages using laser. Kr-F pulsed laser of 248 nm wavelength has been used for this study, and the effects of laser parameters on the geometry of microchannels machined on PMMA are reported. Parameters such as channel width, channel depth, roughness, and wall angle are measured, in order to study the effects of laser parameters and optimise them with the objective to achieve desirable microchannel characteristics such as smooth surfaces, uniform depth, and square channels. A response surface methodology (RSM) based experimental design was used to optimise the laser parameters. Laser energy at 310 mJ, with scan speed of 10 mm/min, and frequency of 32 Hz has provided with the channels of desired quality.
