Abstract

Subablative exposure of tightly focused visible-range femtosecond laser pulses on a thin translucent nanocrystalline copper(I) oxide on a silica glass substrate results not only in its annealing (resolidification), but apparently also in reduction of copper ions to the metallic state via single-photon absorption and the following thermal decomposition (disproportioning). Partial or complete ablation of the film within the laser focal spot and also its subablative optically contrast modification through formation of colloidal nanoparticles or annealing (resolidification) make it possible to consider this material in the thin-film form as a novel optical platform for direct laser writing of vis-IR metasurfaces and thin-film sensing plasmonic and all-dielectric nanostructures.
