Abstract

Silver nanoparticles were precipitated directly in Ag + doped silicate glass by a 150 fs, 800 nm, 250 kHz femtosecond laser irradiation. The irradiated pattern turned to yellow without heat treatment. The absorption peak about 400 nm, ascribed to the surface plasmon resonance of the formed silver nanoparticles, was observed. We believe that the reduced Ag atoms, via capturing free electrons created by multi-photon process, may aggregate into the Ag nanoparticles due to femtosecond laser inducing heat accumulation effect. This result has promising applications for the fabrication of 3D multi-colored images inside a transparent material.
