Resonant nonlinear optical absorption of silver nanoparticles was studied experimentally via open aperture Z-scan using 130 fs, 400 nm laser pulses. Experimental results show that, at low laser intensity, silver nanoparticles can exhibit saturated absorption. While at high laser intensity, it shows reverse saturated absorption. The saturable absorption is explained in terms of ground state plasmon bleaching, while the reverse saturable absorption is believed to be from two-photon absorption. Saturable optical intensity and two-photon absorption coefficient were obtained to be 1.3×1010 W/m2 and 3.3×10−10 m/W, respectively. The energy relaxation process of Ag nanoparticles after laser excitation was studied via pump-probe technique at 400 nm. Experimental results demonstrated that energy relaxation included electron-phonon coupling process with time constant τ1=(713±50) fs, and phonon-phonon coupling process with time constant τ2=(25.2±3) ps, respectively.

A cuprous oxide (Cu2O) thin film was prepared by radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering. The crystal structure, linear transmission spectrum and film thickness were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet–visible–near infrared (UV–Vis–NIR) absorption spectroscopy and ellipsometry. By performing the pump-probe and [Formula: see text]-scan technique, respectively, nondegenerate and degenerate two-photon absorption (D-TPA) coefficients of the Cu2O thin film at several different excitation wavelengths were experimentally determined. The nondegenerate two-photon absorption (ND-TPA) coefficient always exhibits larger magnitude than the corresponding D-TPA coefficient. In particular, the ND-TPA coefficient shows a maximum value of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]cm/GW. This study indicates that the cuprous oxide could be a potential material for ultrafast nonlinear photonic devices based on two-photon absorption due to its large ND-TPA coefficient.
