Gold nanorings feature a variety of optical phenomena and exhibit a size- and shape-dependent resonance wavelength tuneable over a wide range in the visible and near-infrared spectrum. Different approaches have been pursued for the preparation of gold nanorings. In the first one, the individual rings are fabricated from a thin gold layer by HSQ e-beam lithography followed by angular argon ion milling. In the second one, Au rings are produced using colloidal lithography. A gold film is evaporated onto polystyrene particle coated substrates. During argon ion milling secondary sputtering of material creates a gold shell around the sides of the particles, which are removed afterwards. In the third approach, the patterns are defined in PMMA by e-beam lithography. Gold rings are obtained after a standard lift-off process of a gold layer which was deposited after development of PMMA. Using the above-mentioned methods it is possible to structure gold nanorings of many desirable sizes and geometries. The optical properties of the structures under excitation with an electromagnetic field are simulated by means of finite element methods and investigated in a parabolic mirror confocal microscope.
