The article discusses the relevance of using nanoparticles in various fields of science and technology. A method is described for producing nanoparticles, based on the process of laser ablation in a liquid. The advantages of using this method are given. Difficulties in monitoring and controlling the characteristics of nanoparticles in the synthesis process have been identified. The components of the experimental intallation used in this work are shown. The research methodology is given. The results of a study of nanoparticles obtained by laser ablation in a liquid are presented. The graphical dependence of the extinction of a colloidal solution on energy in a pulse is presented. The analysis of the obtained experimental data is carried out and it is revealed that the peak of plasmon resonance of nanoparticles coincides with the theoretical data.
