本論文主要利用雙光子吸收(two-photon absorption，TPA)衍生出的雙光子聚合(two-photon polymerization，TPP)微加工技術製作具金奈米棒(gold nanorod，AuNR)微結構，並從中討論AuNR在加工過程中所扮演的角色。以水溶性三羥甲基丙烷三丙烯酸酯(water soluble ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate，WS-TMPTA)當作反應單體，孟加拉玫瑰素(rose Bengal，RB)當作光起始劑，三乙醇胺(triethanolamine)當作共同起始劑，聚乙二醇辛基苯基醚(triton X-100)當作界面活性劑以及聚對苯乙烯磺酸鈉(poly(styrenesulfonate)，PSS)包覆之AuNR來製作高分子微結構。從理論推測，當加工雷射波長和AuNR之長軸表面電漿子共振(surface plasmon resonance，SPR)匹配時，其SPR會使AuNR之局部區域電場強化，進而幫助AuNR鄰近RB之TPA增加；甚至藉著AuNR之雙光子冷光(two-photon luminescence)來幫助鄰近RB之單光子吸收增加。另外，當RB和AuNR距離夠近時，會藉由非輻射(non-radiative)的方式使能量於激發態RB與AuNR間產生耦合(coupling to plasmons)效應，讓RB的光穩定性提高外，還能增加RB之系統間跨越(intersystem crossing)以及三重激發態(excited triplet state)的量子產率。實驗中為了減少AuNR聚集沉澱問題產生，藉由靜電吸附作用於電性為正電之AuNR表面修飾上一層帶負電之PSS，以幫助其均勻溶入加工溶液中。我們調整AuNR之長寬比來改變其SPR特性，甚至調整AuNR之濃度比例，來證明具AuNR之WS-TMPTA微結構製作可經由AuNR的SPR協助，讓雷射使用功率降低約1/3，並經掃描式電子顯微鏡(scanning electron microscope)的影像鑑定，該微結構中之AuNR並無變形產生。

In this thesis, gold nanorods (AuNRs)-doped microstructures have been successfully fabricated by using two-photon polymerization (TPP) fabrication. Furthermore, the role of AuNRs to assist the multiphoton fabrication would be discussed. Herein, water soluble trimethylolpropane triacrylate (WS-TMPTA) as a reactive monomer, rose Bengal (RB) as a photoinitiator, triethanolamine as a co-initiator, triton X-100 as a surfactant, and negatively-charged poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) adsorbed on the positively-charged surface of AuNRs were utilized to implement the assembly of polymer microstructure. Owing to the longitudinal surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of AuNRs by tuning their aspect ratio, we presume that the local electric field not only was enhanced by the longitudinal SPR of the AuNRs to increase the two-photon absorption of RB, but also the two-photon luminescence induced from the AuNRs could raise the one-photon absorption of RB. For the interactions of RB and AuNRs, the photostability of RB and the quantum yield of excited triplet yield of RB could be increased due to non-radiative energy transfer coupling to SPR. AuNRs coated with PSS can be assisted to disperse into the fabrication solution. The fabricated laser power can be decreased by approximately 33 % with the help of AuNRs. The zoom-in image of scanning electron microscopy shows clear and intact AuNRs inside the microstructures, which means there was no damage to the morphology of the AuNR after femtosecond laser fabrication process.
