MeV implantation of Au has been used to create a high density of Au nanoclusters in the near surface of fused silica. Measurements of the nanocluster size and size distribution under various implantation/annealing conditions are presented and correlated with measurements of optical absorption by the Au nanoclusters in fused silica. Preliminary measurements of the nonlinear refractive index are included.
