Lead halide perovskites are promising semiconductors for high-performance photonic devices. Because the refractive index determines the optimal design and performance limit of the semiconductor devices, the refractive index and its change upon external modulations are the most critical properties for advanced photonic applications. Here, we report that the refractive index of halide perovskite CH3NH3PbCl3 shows a distinct decrease with increasing temperature, i.e., a large negative thermo-optic coefficient, which is opposite to those of conventional inorganic semiconductors. By using this negative coefficient, we demonstrate the compensation of thermally induced optical phase shifts occurring in conventional semiconductors. Furthermore, we observe a large and slow refractive index change in CH3NH3PbCl3 during photoirradiation and clarify its origin to be a very low thermal conductivity supported by theoretical analysis. The giant thermo-optic response of CH3NH3PbCl3 facilitates efficient phase modulation of visible light.

The optical nonlinearity of an organic dye from a triphenylmethane group is measured using the Z-scan technique. The sample under study is found to exhibit the negative nature of nonlinearity, which is mainly due to the thermally induced refractive index change. Since this thermally induced refractive index change can lead to self-diffraction, the self-diffraction properties of the sample is studied by using thin films of a dye-sensitized gelatin. A He-Ne laser (633 nm) is used for both the Z-scan and self-diffraction studies. In the self-diffraction studies, it is also found that the different diffracted orders exhibit varying phase differences.

The miniaturization and integration of photonic devices are new requirements in the fast-growing optics field. In this paper, we focus on a feature-rich sub-wavelength nanograting-coated single-layer metal film. The numerical results show that the reflection behaviors of this proposed structure can realize bidirectional dual-channel ultra-narrowband polarized filtering and bidirectional wavelength-modulated sensing in a wide refractive index (RI) range from 1.0 to 1.4 for incident angle of 10° with transverse-magnetic (TM) polarized illumination at wavelengths between 550 nm to 1500 nm. Moreover, the bidirectional properties of filtering and sensing are not obviously decreased when increasing incident angle from 10° to 30°, and decreasing incident angle from 10° to 0°. The calculated RI sensitivity can be up to 592 nm/RIU with a high figure of merit (FOM) of 179.4 RIU−1. More to the point, this nanograting has a simple structure and is less sensitive to the height and shape of grating ridge, which provides great convenience for the fabrication of devices. The other thing that is going on is that this structure can also realize synchronously tunable color filtering, including green to red, with high color purity in the visible band by choosing the period. The underlying physical mechanism is analyzed in detail, and is primarily attributed to surface plasmon polariton (SPP) resonance and dipole resonance at double plasmon resonance wavelengths. This work has tremendous potential in developing multipurpose and high-performance integrated optical devices such as spectral filters, colored displays and plasmon biomedical sensors.
