“…A similar result is obtained when heating the coated glass by CO 2 -laser irradiation [42] or furnace annealing [43]. Using an ArF excimer laser at a fluence below the threshold of ablation, gold nanoparticles are formed and partially implanted into the glass as can be seen from the colored appearance of the irradiated areas and the plasmon resonance peak in the absorption spectra [44]. After wiping off the loosely sticking particles, the remaining effect is only due to the implanted particles.…”

“…The size of the spherical particles is assumed to be around 10 nm after 5 pulses and increasing to about 20 nm after 50 pulses according to the measurements performed under flat field irradiation with similar parameters [44]. However, some large, oblate particles (50 nm) are also present as can be seen from Figure 4.…”

“…This indicates that Ag-particles with radius < 3 nm and agglomerations > 5 nm have been formed [12]. It is assumed that this particle formation takes place in a locally softened or even liquefied glass matrix, so that the diffusion of the silver ions is fast enough to form particles during the effective laser heating period of only µs to ms duration when applying a few 100 to 5000 pulses [6,44].…”

“…The implantation of gold particles previously investigated for the case of homogeneous large area laser irradiation [44] is assumed to proceed according to the scheme shown in Figure 9. The first two laser pulses lead to disintegration of the smooth gold film and particle formation.…”

Metallic nanoparticles are important building blocks for plasmonic applications. The spatially defined arrangement of these nanoparticles in a stable glass matrix is obtained here by nanosecond excimer laser irradiation at 193 nm. Two approaches are addressed: (1) Laser induced formation of particles from a dopant material pre-incorporated in the glass, (2) Particle formation and implantation by irradiation of material pre-coated on top of the glass. Silver nanoparticles are formed inside Ag+ doped glass (method 1). Gold nanoparticles are implanted by irradiation of gold coated glass (method 2). In the latter case, with a few laser pulses the original gold film disintegrates into particles which are then embedded in the softened glass matrix. A micron sized spatial resolution (periodic arrangements with 2 µm period) is obtained in both cases by irradiating the samples with an interference beam pattern generated by a phase mask. The plasmonic absorption of the nanoparticles leads to a contrast of the optical density between irradiated and non-irradiated lines of up to 0.6.

Formation of Au@Ag Bimetallic Nanoparticles via Ion Implantation and Its Effects on Boosting the Near-Infrared Emission of Er³⁺ Ions in Germanate Glass for Applications in Optical Amplifiers

In this work, germanate glasses of composition 59GeO2-41PbO in mol% doped with Er3+ ions were synthesized using the melt-quenching route. Au and Ag nanoparticles and Au@Ag bimetallic nanoparticles were formed on the surface of the germanate glasses by ion implantation followed by thermal treatments. X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed the amorphous structure of the implanted glasses. Molecular dynamics was used to simulate the GeO2–PbO glass structure. Surface plasmon resonance bands centered at 486, 537, and 574 nm, obtained through ultraviolet–visible absorption spectra, supported the formation of Ag, Au, and Au@Ag nanoparticles, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed the presence of spherical Au and Ag nanoparticles as well as the presence of nonspherical Au@Ag bimetallic nanoalloys. Refractive index n and extinction coefficient k were measured by ellipsometry. Judd–Ofelt theory was applied to evaluate the phenomenological intensity parameters Ωλ (λ = 2,4,6) , radiative parameters, and stimulated emission cross-sections for glasses doped with Er3+ and implanted with Au @Ag bimetallic nanoalloys. Efficient boosting of the near-infrared emission for the 4I13/2 → 4I15/2 transition was observed in the glass doped with Er3+ ions due to the presence of Au@Ag bimetallic nanoalloys. The possible cause of this improvement in luminescent intensity was attributed to the strong local field effect due to the efficient synergy between Au@Ag bimetallic nanoalloys and the Er3+ ions. The results obtained in this work indicate that the vitreous system GeO2–PbO glass doped with Er3+ ions and with the incorporation of Au@Ag bimetallic nanoalloys via ionic implantation exhibit excellent spectroscopic properties compared to other vitreous host glasses doped with the Er3+, indicating its potential applications in optical amplifiers.
