Structuring of Surfaces with Gold Nanoparticles by Using Bessel‐Like Beams

Here, the structuring of surfaces with gold nanoparticles by using Bessel‐like beam array is demonstrated. The experimental results show that the fabricated microring structures containing gold nanoparticles have a surface plasmon resonance in the spectral range of 520–540 nm, which can be tuned by selecting the laser treatment parameters. Fabricated microring structures exhibit a lower light transmittance comparing with the randomly distributed gold nanoparticles for wavelengths 500–570 nm due to the growth in the size of nanoparticles. In the spectral range of 600–700 nm, the light transmittance through microring structures is higher compared with the randomly distributed gold nanoparticles because of the removal of gold nanoparticles as gold has high reflectivity for wavelengths longer than 600 nm. The demonstrated method enables an easy fabrication of microring structures having tunable plasmonic properties.
