Resonant nonlinear optical absorption of silver nanoparticles was studied experimentally via open aperture Z-scan using 130 fs, 400 nm laser pulses. Experimental results show that, at low laser intensity, silver nanoparticles can exhibit saturated absorption. While at high laser intensity, it shows reverse saturated absorption. The saturable absorption is explained in terms of ground state plasmon bleaching, while the reverse saturable absorption is believed to be from two-photon absorption. Saturable optical intensity and two-photon absorption coefficient were obtained to be 1.3×1010 W/m2 and 3.3×10−10 m/W, respectively. The energy relaxation process of Ag nanoparticles after laser excitation was studied via pump-probe technique at 400 nm. Experimental results demonstrated that energy relaxation included electron-phonon coupling process with time constant τ1=(713±50) fs, and phonon-phonon coupling process with time constant τ2=(25.2±3) ps, respectively.

AbstractPolymers of Benzidine were synthesized by hydrogen peroxide reaction catalyzed by horseradish peroxidase enzyme. The polymerization reaction was carried out at room temperature in a monophasic organic solvent with a small amount of water at pH 7.5.The technique of degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) with nanosecond and picosecond pulses was employed to measure the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility χ. The samples were studied in solution in Dimethyl sulfoxide:Methanol in volume ratio 4:1. The observed values are of order 10−9 to 10−8esu. Measurements on a thin film agree approximately with the extrapolated values fron solution measurements. Picosecond time resolved measurements indicate a pulse-width limited response followed by a small slow component. Investigation of the total energy transmission as a function of the incident intensity and fluence at 532 nm for pico- and nanosecond pulses indicates reverse saturable absorption. As we observe the nanosecond and picosecond curves to be superimposed for the intensity plot but not for fluence, we conclude that the nonlinearity is predominantly due to two-photon absorption. Numerical analysis of the data yields a value of 12.25 cm/GW for the two-photon absorption coefficient β. The imaginary component of χ obtained is 5 × 10−9esu. The material appears to be a good candidate for applications in optical power limiting and switching.

The third-order nonlinear infrared and ultraviolet properties exhibited by silicon quantum dots irradiated by ultrashort pulses were studied. The samples were prepared by 1.5 MeV Si+2ion implantation processes in high-purity silica substrates. Femtosecondz-scan measurements conducted at 830 nm wavelength revealed strong self-focusing effects together with two-photon absorption that can be switched to saturable absorption as a function of the input irradiance. Changes in the main physical mechanism responsible for the picosecond absorptive nonlinearity in the sample were also observed at 355 nm, made possible by the assistance of photothermal phenomena. Ultraviolet self-diffraction explorations allowed us to estimate the Kerr effect of the nanostructures. Potential applications for developing all-optical filtering functions performed by silicon-based nanosystems can be considered.

The optical nonlinear absorption properties in sputtering Indium nitride ( InN ) film were investigated under the excitations of nanosecond, picosecond and femtosecond pulsed lasers by open-aperture transmission Z-scan technique (TZ-scan). Under the condition of hν > Eg, the saturable absorption (SA) phenomena induced by one-photon transition were observed in both nanosecond and picosencond pulsed TZ-scan measurements. When 2hν > Eg > hν, the film presented SA due to the two-photon transition under the excitation of picosecond laser. However, at femtosecond 800 nm, the film showed the two-photon absorption (TPA) instead of SA, and the TPA coefficient tended to a saturable value as the excitation intensity increased. The results indicate that the InN film is a kind of good saturable absorber.
