Controllable plasmonic transfer through laser-induced nanostructuring

Metallic nanoparticles with controllable plasmonic properties were fabricated by a laser-induced transfer technique. By controlling the laser fluence and the number of laser pulses, nanostructures with complementary plasmonic properties were produced. The plasmonic properties of the nanostructures were controllably modified by changing the number of irradiation pulses. This technique not only manipulates the plasmonic response of metallic nanoparticles but also facilitates the versatile transfer of metallic nanostructures onto fiber tips and stretchable substrates. This reproducible method is fast, inexpensive, flexible, and suitable for various applications for plasmonic devices.
