In the present article, the formation of low-dimensional periodic structures with relief repeating the trajectory of movement of an AFM probe were presented. The parameters affecting their geometric dimensions: height, width, uniformity in the layer, etc., were investigated. The method of induced deposition of silver and/or gold clusters on the surface of a Bragg mirror in the presence of an external electric field was developed. The possibility of using such structures in optical elements, photoelectronic converters, optoelectronic devices of fiber optics, as well as the construction of photonic crystals (elements) based on the periodic structures is discussed.
