We report a large third-order nonlinear optical response of palladium diselenide (PdSe2) films – a two-dimensional (2D) noble metal dichalcogenide material. Both open-aperture (OA) and closed-aperture (CA) Z-scan measurements are performed with a femtosecond pulsed laser at 800 nm to investigate the nonlinear absorption and nonlinear refraction, respectively. In the OA experiment, we observe optical limiting behaviour originating from large two photo absorption (TPA) in the PdSe2 film of β = 3.26 ×10-8 m/W. In the CA experiment, we measure a peak-valley response corresponding to a large and negative Kerr nonlinearity of n2 = -1.33×10-15 m2/W – two orders of magnitude larger than bulk silicon. We also characterize the variation of n2 as a function of laser intensity, observing that n2 decreases in magnitude with incident laser intensity, becoming saturated at n2 = -9.96×10-16 m2/W at high intensities. These results verify the large third-order nonlinear optical response of 2D PdSe2 as well as its strong potential for high performance nonlinear photonic devices.

We also characterize the variation of n2 as a function of laser intensity, observing that n2 decreases in magnitude with incident laser intensity, becoming saturated at n2 = -9.96×10− 16 m2/W at high intensities.

The linear absorption spectra and third-order nonlinear optical properties of M@ C 82 (M = Sc , Y , La ) nanostructural materials, whose configurations were optimized at the unrestricted open shell UB3LYP level, are simulated by the sum-over-states combined with the time-dependent UB3LYP methods. The obtained results show that the electronic absorption bands have redshifts, and the values of third-order nonlinear optical polarizabilities and two-photon absorption cross sections increase for M@ C 82 fullerenes (M = Sc , Y , La ) as the atomic radius of encased metal M increase in the order of Sc → Y → La . It is indicated that the electron-donating ability from the encased M atom to cage C 82 decreases or the electron-accepting ability from C 82 to M atom increases as the atomic radius of M increases, which results in third-order nonlinear optical response enhancement in the order of Sc @ C 82 < Y @ C 82 < La @ C 82. This gives a clue to design the nanostructural materials of encased fullerenes having a large nonlinear optical response.
