Abstract

A principal possibility to operate the light reflection within the 350nm–680nm spectra wavelength range and related extinction efficiency of silver nanoparticle-attached aluminum-doped zinc oxide substrate using an external laser light was shown. The treatment was performed by a nanosecond Nd:YAG (1064nm) and Er:glass (1540nm) lasers and by the corresponding bicolor regime. The principal role of the interfaces separating the ZnO:Al substrate and topology of Ag NP is established using AFM analysis of the Ag NP possessing 20nm, 40nm and 60nm average sizes. Different possible physical mechanisms are discussed including quadrupolar interaction of the electromagnetic wave and nanocomposites following the overlap between the surface plasmon resonance and the nano-trapping levels. The high selectivity to the photoexcited wavelength is explored. The sensitivity to the observed photoinducing laser wavelengths is discussed.
