Composite thin films formed by using nanometer-sized metal particles embedded in dielectric matrices were fabricated by using a pulsed laser deposition technique to co-deposit the metal and the ceramic targets. The optical absorption properties were measured at wavelength from 350 to 800 nm, and the absorption peak due to the surface plasmon resonance of the metal particles was found. The effects...
