Title: Third order nonlinear optical response exhibited by mono- and few-layers of WS₂

Abstract

In this work, strong third order nonlinear optical properties exhibited by WS₂ layers are presented. Optical Kerr effect was identified as the dominant physical mechanism responsible for these third order optical nonlinearities. An extraordinary nonlinear refractive index together with an important contribution of a saturated absorptive response was observed to depend on the atomic layer stacking. Comparative experiments performed in mono- and few-layer samples of WS₂ revealed that this material is potentially capable of modulating nonlinear optical processes by selective near resonant induced birefringence. In conclusion, we envision applications for developing all-optical bidimensional nonlinear optical devices.

Measuring Photoexcited Free Charge Carriers in Mono- to Few-Layer Transition-Metal Dichalcogenides with Steady-State Microwave Conductivity

Journal Article Blackburn, Jeffrey L. ; Zhang, Hanyu ; Myers, Alexis R. ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters

We present that photoinduced generation of mobile charge carriers is the fundamental process underlying many applications, such as solar energy harvesting, solar fuel production, and efficient photodetectors. Monolayer transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) are an attractive model system for studying photoinduced carrier generation mechanisms in low-dimensional materials because they possess strong direct band gap absorption, large exciton binding energies, and are only a few atoms thick. While a number of studies have observed charge generation in neat TMDCs for photoexcitation at, above, or even below the optical band gap, the role of nonlinear processes (resulting from high photon fluences), defect states, excessmore »« less

Third- and second-order optical nonlinearity of Ge-Ga-S-PbI{sub 2} chalcohalide glasses

Journal Article Haitao, Guo ; Haizheng, Tao ; Shaoxuan, Gu ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

Two series of metal iodide doped chalcohalide glasses (100-2x)GeS{sub 2}.xGa{sub 2}S{sub 3}.xPbI{sub 2} (0{<=}x{<=}20) and (100-x)(0.8GeS{sub 2}.0.2Ga{sub 2}S{sub 3}).xPbI{sub 2} (0{<=}x{<=}15) were prepared and characterized. The microstructure of these glasses has been studied by Raman scattering spectra. Utilizing femtosecond time-resolved optical Kerr effect (OKE) technique at the wavelength of 820 nm, a largest third-order nonlinearity {chi} {sup (3)} of 2.07x10{sup -13} esu was obtained for the 90GeS{sub 2}.5Ga{sub 2}S{sub 3}.5PbI{sub 2} glass, and it decreases with the addition of PbI{sub 2} in both two series. After thermally poled, second-harmonic generation (SHG) has been observed in these glasses according to Makermore »« less
Components of the third-order nonlinear susceptibility tensors in KDP, DKDP and LiNbO{sub 3} nonlinear optical crystals

Journal Article Kulagin, I A ; Ganeev, R A ; Tugushev, R I ; ... - Quantum Electronics (Woodbury, N.Y.)

The ratio of the components of the third order nonlinear susceptibility tensors (which are responsible for the self-action effects) in KDP, DKDP and LiNbO{sub 3} crystals is measured at the 1064-nm wavelength of a Nd:YAG laser. Measurements were made on the basis of analysis of polarisation dependences of the focused radiation transmission by the z-scan method. The obtained polarisation dependences of the effective Kerr nonlinearity correspond to a tensor of the fourth rank that is symmetric in all its indices. The measured values of the Kerr nonlinearities that are responsible for the self-action of o-polarised radiation were found to bemore »« less

Plasmon resonance enhanced large third-order optical nonlinearity and ultrafast optical response in Au nanobipyramids

Journal Article Yu, Ying ; Fan, Shan-Shan ; Dai, Hong-Wei ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

The third-order optical nonlinearity and response time of Au nanobipyramids have been investigated by using optical Kerr effect technique. Large third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility (χ{sup (3)}) and ultrafast optical response time have been obtained at the longitudinal surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) wavelength. As the excitation laser wavelength varies from non-resonance wavelength of 780 nm to the LSPR wavelength of 825 nm, χ{sup (3)} increases from 7.4 × 10{sup −14} to 3.9 × 10{sup −13} esu, the fast component of the response time decreases from 141 ± 23 to 83 ± 8 fs and the ratio of the fast component remains around 48%, while the slow response time decreases from 3200 ± 200more »« less

Structural, optical and femtosecond third-order nonlinear optical properties of LiNbO{sub 3} thin films

Journal Article Tumuluri, Anil ; Bharati, M. S.S. ; Rao, S. Venugopal, E-mail: soma_venu@uohyd.ac.in ; ... - Materials Research Bulletin

Highlights: • Fs third order NLO properties of LiNbO{sub 3} thin films were investigated. • Al:ZnO was used as a buffer layer to control the growth of LiNbO{sub 3}. • The magnitude of the χ{sup (3)} of all films was ∼10{sup −11} e.s.u. • χ{sup (3)} obtained here is much higher that of single crystal Z-cut LiNbO{sub 3}. - Abstract: LiNbO{sub 3} thin films were deposited by means of Al:ZnO as intermediate layer using pulsed laser deposition and their structural, linear and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties were investigated. The films were found to be polycrystalline, (110) orientation for Al:ZnO/fused silicamore »« less
