A large number of vacancies, defects, relative sp2 carbon content, and nanogrooves of DLC films support the LDI phenomenon. The observed absorptivity of DLC is in the range of 305−330 nm (nitrogen laser, 337 nm). The universal applicability is demonstrated through different analytes like amino acids, ...
