陽極氧化鋁因為具有奈米等級、孔洞規則性排列、等向性均勻結構等特性被運用在各種金屬材質的奈米線製程，包括已被廣泛運用來增強量測樣品訊號的表面增強拉曼散射效應，而近來人們發現利用奈米金屬顆粒嵌入在陽極氧化鋁膜裡，出現一些有趣的光學性質，如負向折射率，異常性穿透率等等。
我們利用二次陽極氧化技術，以及選定電解液，成功製作出平均約100 nm孔洞空間分佈的氧化鋁孔洞陣列，並且利用不同的參數控制，達到不同孔洞空間分佈的條件，以符合後續實驗目的。並且後續使用交流電電化學方法在孔洞內沈積銀奈米顆粒，量測並觀察在不同長度下其薄膜的光學特性。
在反射率量測結果顯示反射率範圍大約在5%至10%左右，但是在近紫外光波段約350 nm左右看到了明顯的激發波峰，推測為表面電漿共振效應，而在穿透率的方面則明顯看出在可見光波段的穿透率呈現非常低的穿透率,且在波段325 nm左右有一波峰形成如光通道的效應，吸收率方面可以看出在波段440 nm左右是表面電漿共振效應的強吸收位置，且波峰的寬度隨著銀奈米顆粒沉積厚度增加而有增寬現象。再來利用架設的倒立式顯微鏡光學量測系統測量了嵌入於薄膜中的銀線所形成的金屬介電複合材料的銀奈米線陣列的電漿傳播特性，得到以間距40 nm週期性排列之半徑約60 nm的銀奈米線陣列其傳播距離，之後並利用研磨器具得到更為平整的銀/氧化鋁金屬介電複合材料，改善量測得到的數據標準差降低了70%左右。

This thesis first introduces the foundation information of the anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) including the development history and the chemical formation phenomena of the porous hexagonally honeycomb alumina structures and the improved process to form well-spacing porous alumina nanochannels, which can embed the silver particles by electrodeposition in subsequent exam. We first use two-step anodization to improve the uniform of AAO structure. We also describe the diameter change and pore distribution of porous alumina channels under different parameter. Secondly we measure and show the various particular properties of porous AAO film such as the penetration, the reflection, and the absorption spectra. We import the conceptions of surface plasmons and plasmonics which have been very lively discussed in recent years. Plasmonics is a new field in nanotechnology for the property of being able to transmit electromagnetic wave under the optical diffraction limit. Finally, we use optical system to measure the propagation lengths of Ag/AAO film to observe the possibility of strong interaction between silver nanowires that can enhance the propagating surface plasmons wave. The propagation length is 2 μm, this can offer a reference if the Ag/AAO film is used to as a remote transport application. Additionally, we also level the Ag/AAO film to improve the non-uniform emission intensities due to different nanowire lengths by manually grinding and polishing.
