A　2D　dielectric　grating　produced　by　photolithography　was　employed　as　a　microlens　array　(MLA),　which　was　based　on　a　smooth　surface　and　a　shape　that　may　be　defined　roughly　as　a　hemisphere　of　each　lattice.　Such　a　2D　MLA　can　focus　an　incident　ultraviolet　light　beam　into　a　matrix　of　light　spots,　which　were　estimated　to　be　as　small　as　500　nm　in　diameter.　Using　a　thin　layer　of　photoresist　(PR)　to　record　the　pattern　of　the　focusing　spots,　we　achieved　an　approximately　inversed　structure　of　periodically　arranged　holes　in　PR　in　submicron　sizes.　Filling　these　holes　with　gold　using　chemically　synthesized　colloidal　gold　nanoparticles　produced　a　plasmonic　grating　consisting　of　gold　nanoparticles　larger　than　580　nm　in　average　diameter.　Localized　surface　plasmon　resonance　in　both　first　and　second　orders　was　observed,　which　was　verified　by　the　spectroscopic　response　and　theoretical　simulations.　MLA　can　be　thus　repeatedly　used　as　a　master　to　produce　plasmonic　photonic　structures　with　high　reproducibility.
