It is shown that pulsed irradiation (a wavelength of 10.6 μm and an energy density of 0.6 – 8.5 J cm{sup -2}) of glass with a waveguide layer containing silver ion leads to the formation of a ring, surrounding the irradiated zone and consisting of silver nanoparticles deposited on the glass surface. The possible process of formation of silver nanoparticles under laser irradiation is discussed. (optics and technology of nanostructures)
