Nanostructures due to their vast applications have been the focus of enormous research in the past decade. The key challenge for producing nanostructures based commercial applications is the scaling up of the fabrication process. We present the fabrication of gold nanostructures by using the fast and commercially viable method of laser interference based ablation.[1] Thin layers of gold (about 5 nanometres) were sputtered on to glass slides and then ablated using the interference fringes produced by a high power nanosecond laser. In this manner holographic nanopatterns were recorded into the gold films. Using this quick and economical method we produced several nanophotonic devices, such as optical gratings, lenses and holograms.
