1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:

The study uses nanosecond excimer laser irradiation at 193 nm for the spatially defined arrangement of metallic nanoparticles in glass. Two methods are employed: laser-induced formation of particles from a dopant material pre-incorporated in the glass and particle formation and implantation by irradiation of material pre-coated on top of the glass.

2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:

Commercial soda-lime float glass slides of 1 mm thickness are used. Silver ions are introduced into the glass network by an isothermal Ag-Na ion exchange process. For gold implantation experiments, glass samples are sputter-coated with gold.

3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:

ArF excimer laser (Lambda Physik LPX315), UV-Vis-NIR microscope photometer (Carl Zeiss MPM 100), scanning electron microscopy (Zeiss EVO MA10), scanning transmission electron microscopy (FEI Titan3 80-300), sputter coater (EMITECH K550).

4：0). Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:

4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: Spatially resolved irradiation is performed with an ArF excimer laser in combination with a mask projection setup. The laser pulse repetition rate is adjusted based on the experiment (10 Hz for Ag-doped glass and 1 Hz for Au-coated glass).

5：Data Analysis Methods:

The resulting modifications are investigated using UV-Vis-NIR microscopy, SEM, and STEM. The contrast of the line patterns generated by the formed particles is defined and measured.
