Abstract
A simple and efficient protocol is developed for the in situ generation of highly monodisperse and small (2-3 nm) silver nanoparticles in poly(vinyl alcohol) film and the fabrication of their free-standing films. Efficient optical limiting with these nanoparticle-embedded polymer thin films is demonstrated.
