Аннотация:Laser interference lithography is applied to fabricate large-area plasmonic nanostructures. This approach has the advantages of being non-contact process in air and able to achieve large-area and maskless nanolithography at a high speed with low system investment. Single layer Au or Ag noble metallic thin film and Ag/Au, Ag/Ni or Au/Ni bimetallic layer thin films are patterned into nano-dot, nano-rod and nano-nut arrays by laser interference lithography. Plasmonic effects of the fabricated metallic nanostructures are studied. Tunable and multi-peak surface plasmon resonances of these nanostructures can be obtained, which have potential applications in solar cells, bio-sensing and photonic circuits.
