Graphene, being an ultrathin, durable, flexible, transparent material with superior conductivity and unusual optical properties, promises many novel applications in electronics, photonics and optoelectronics. For applications in electronics, patterning and modification of electrical properties is very desirable since pristine graphene has no band gap. Here we demonstrate a simple all-optical patterning method for graphene, based on laser induced two-photon oxidation. By tuning the intensity of irradiation and the number of pulses the level of oxidation can be controlled to high precision and, therefore, a band gap can be introduced and electrical and optical properties can be continuously tuned. Arbitrary complex patterning can be performed for air-suspended monolayer graphene or for graphene on substrates. The method works at room temperature in ambient air and no additional processing step is needed. The presented concept allows development of all-graphene electronic and optoelectronic devices and complex circuits with an all-optical method.
