Abstract

We developed a novel nanocomposite consisting of an organic-inorganic hybrid polymer and gold ion nanoparticles. The nanocomposite has been proven to be suitable for functional three-dimensional nanostructure fabrication due to the fact that dominant formation of the nanoparticles is triggered in the post bake process after nanofabrication. The nanocomposite has high third-order nonlinearity due to the local field enhancement of the gold nanoparticles.
