Abstract:

It is shown that the action of a nanosecond pulse of laser radiation with wavelengths of 0.53 and 1.06 μm on glass with a waveguide layer that contains silver ions causes silver nanoparticles to be formed on the surface of the glass. The nanoparticles are fixed on the surface by the dielectric components of the glass. A mechanism is proposed for the formation of silver nanoparticles when the laser acts.

Keywords:
