This paper describes a novel method for fabricating paper-based microfluidic devices using a laser beam scanning technique. Cellulose chromatography papers were treated with octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) to make them entirely hydrophobic. A photoacid generator (CPI-410S) was soaked into the paper, and irradiated with a 405-nm laser beam to induce acid generating reactions. Since the silyl ether bond between cellulose and OTS was cleaved by the hydrolysis reaction, the photo-irradiated area changed to hydrophilic. By scanning the laser beam using a Galvo mirror system, arbitrary shaped hydrophilic patterns were successfully created on the paper in 50 μm resolution. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the fabrication of hydrophilic channels on the OTS-treated paper using photo-induced acid generation processes coupled with the laser beam scanning technique. Quantification of nitrite was demonstrated with the paper device made by this method.

Near-infrared laser-induced temperature elevation in single aqueous ammonium sulfate droplets levitated in air were evaluated by means of laser trapping and Raman spectroscopy. Since the vapor pressure in an aqueous solution droplet should be thermodynamically in equilibrium with that of water in air, the equilibrium size of the droplet varies sensitively through evaporation/condensation of water in accordance with the temperature change of the droplet. In this study, we demonstrated that the changes in the size of an optically levitated aqueous ammonium sulfate droplet were induced by irradiation of a 1064-nm laser beam as a heat source under an optical microscope. Temperature elevation in the droplet was evaluated successfully by means of Raman spectroscopy, and the values determined were shown to be in good agreement with those by the theoretical calculations based on the absorption coefficient of water at 1064-nm and the thermal conductivity of air. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first experimental demonstration showing that the absorption coefficient evaluated from changes in the size of optically-trapped aqueous droplets is consistent with that of pure water.
