In the present work, different thicknesses of CdS film were prepared by chemical bath deposition. Z-Scan technique was used to study the nonlinear refractive index and nonlinear absorption coefficients. Linear optical testing were done such as transmission test, and thickness of films were done by the interference fringes (Michelson interferometer). Z-scan experiment was performed at 650nm using CW diode laser and at 532nm wavelength. The results show the effect of self-focusing and defocusing that corresponds with nonlinear refraction n2. The effect of two-photon absorption was also studied, which correspond to the nonlinear absorption coefficient B.

The nonlinear optical properties of the aqueous solutions of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) prepared by chemical reduction method are analyzed using femtosecond and picosecond pulses at different wavelengths. In the case of 800 and 400 nm, the growths of nonlinear absorption and nonlinear refraction with the increase of Ag NP concentration, as well as a change at the signs of nonlinear optical processes, are determined. The nonlinear absorption coefficient and nonlinear refractive index of Ag NP solutions measured using picosecond pulses were a few orders of magnitude larger than those in the case of femtosecond probe pulses. We also demonstrate the optical limiting properties of Ag NPs using 800 nm, 60 fs pulses.

We present a theoretical analysis of multi-photon absorption processes. We find an approximate closed-form expression of the normalized transmittance for a thin sample with two successive nonlinear absorption processes at a time ([Formula: see text]- and [Formula: see text]-photon absorption) in the presence of residual linear absorption. Our approach allows for simultaneous identification and evaluation of the nonlinear absorption coefficients and Rayleigh lengths of the incident elliptic Gaussian beam by fitting the open [Formula: see text]-scan traces.

ABSTRACTThe nonlinear refractive index, linear and nonlinear absorption coefficients of a number of nickel dithiolene-doped PMMA polymers have been measured. Nonlinear refractive indices up to about 10−8 cm−2/KW were observed, with figures of merit defined by δnsat/αλ and Reχ(3) / Im χ(3) within acceptable device limits.
