Abstract

Ion implantation and thermal annealing have been used to create localized regions containing a high density of colloidal Au or Ag precipitates in Al₂O₃. These colloidal precipitates give rise to dramatic optical absorption effects through surface plasmon resonance absorption. Strong optical absorption is observed at 2.25 eV for Au implanted Al₂O₃ and at 2.75 eV for Ag implanted Al₂O₃ after annealing. Preliminary measurements of the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility are discussed also.
