In this work, we demonstrate a single-step laser-assisted fabrication of thin plasmonic nanocomposite thin films. The common processes taking place in Ag:Au:TiO2 thin nanocomposite films under UV laser irradiation are discussed. We describe the main nanostructure formation mechanisms, as well as their effect on the optical properties of the films. The obtained results pave the way for the implementation of such materials in modern photonics and optoelectronics devices, photocatalytic systems, sensing, and SERS due to their unique and well-controlled optical properties.
