A family of TeO2-based glasses is known to have high third-order nonlinear properties and expected as nonlinear optical devices. In the present study, we fabricated Ag2O-TeO2 and Ag2O-Nb2O5-TeO2 glasses, and estimated their structures and linear/nonlinear optical properties. The main results showed that the absorption-edge of the glasses was shifted to longer wavelength side with increasing Ag2O content. By Raman spectroscopy, it was found that an increase in Ag2O content promoted to change TeO4 to TeO3/TeO3+1 units. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed the presence of an electronic state of Ag2+ ions, which was supposed to have a large influence on the absorption-edge wavelength. In Ag2O-Nb2O5-TeO2 glass system, the third-order nonlinear susceptibility χ(3) increased with increasing Ag2O content at the expense of Nb2O5 content.

AbstractWe present a systematic study on the nonlinear optical properties of silicon nanocrystals (Si-nc) grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD). The sign and magnitude of both real and imaginary parts of third-order nonlinear susceptibility χ(3) of Si-nc are measured by Z-scan method. While the closed aperture Z-scan reveals a sign of positive nonlinearity, the open aperture measurements suggests a nonlinear absorption coefficients. Absolute values of χ(3) are in the order of 10-9 esu and show systematic correlation with the Si-nc size, due to quantum confinement related effects.
