Abstract: The third-order nonlinear susceptibility χ(3) of SnO2/PVA composite thin film was measured by a femtosecond time-resolved optical Kerr effect OKE at 810nm wavelength. The χ(3) observed was 4.301×10-14esu for SnO2 nanoparticles which average diameter is 10nm and 1.728×10-13esu for 2~3nm SnO2 nanoparticles. Femtosecond time-resolved OKE measurements revealed that the response time of the optical nonlinearity in SnO2/PVA thin film is extremely fast as short as 50fs.

Key words: Femtosecond, optical nonlinearity, Kerr effect

摘要: 报道了用飞秒光克尔实验系统测量镶嵌在聚乙烯醇(PVA)薄膜的二氧化锡(SnO)纳米晶簇的光学非线性的实验结果,平均粒径为10nm和2~3nm的SnO晶簇的三阶非线性极化率 χ(3)分别为4.301×10-14和1.728×10-13esu,并对其原因进行了分析。实验还表明SnO/PVA薄膜的光学响应是很快的,为50fs。由于聚乙烯醇薄膜的性能稳定,易于生产,上述结果显示它可能成为制作光器件的优良基质。
