title: Fabrication and optical characteristics of a novel optical fiber doped with the Au nanoparticles.
abstract: Optical fibers containing gold metal nanoparticles were developed by modified chemical vapor deposition, in which Au(OH)3 and tetraethyl-orthosilicate (TEOS) was used via sol-gel process to incorporate gold metals by providing the reduction atmosphere. The absorption peak appeared near 490 nm was found to be due to the surface plasmon resonance of the gold nanoparticles incorporated in the fiber core.
