The inside cover illustrates the fabrication process of dichroic optical patterns by nanosecond laser processing of silver‐decorated, oriented SiO 2 nanocolumns. Using this straightforward methodology, reported by Johann Toudert, Ana Borras, and co‐workers on p. 848 , it is possible to selectively tune the surface plasmon of the silver nanostripes along the visible range as a function of the laser power during the irradiation. These optical structures are of application for optical encryption and related applications.
