The microstructures of the glass are characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersion X-ray spectra, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The results show that the Bi{sub 2}S{sub 3} nanocrystals ranging from 10 to 30 nm are determined to be of the orthorhombic crystalline phase, and the third-order optical nonlinear refractive index {gamma}, absorption coefficient {beta}, and susceptibility {chi}{sup (3)} of the glass are determined to be 2.56 x 10{sup -16} m{sup 2} W{sup -1}, 4.13 x 10{sup -10} mW{sup -1}, and 1.43 x 10{sup -10} esu, respectively.
