The synthesis of nanostructured materials took much attention due to their advanced optical and nonlinear optical properties, which can be used in various areas of communications, optics, laser physics and medicine. During last two decades, special attention was given to the nonlinear optical properties of the nanoparticles (NPs) of variable morphology. Here we review the recent studies of the nonlinear optical properties of silver and gold NPs. We discuss the Z-scans and pump-probe transient absorption studies allowing determining the nonlinear refractive indices, nonlinear absorption coefficients and electron-phonon interaction times. The analysis of the low- and high-order harmonic generation in the laser-produced plasmas containing Ag NPs and Au NPs is also presented.

Eco-friendlybiosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) and gold (Au NPs) nanoparticles by using Punica granatum and C. reticulata extracts were synthesized efficiently. Ag and Au NPs with sizes 8–10 nm and 30–40 nm were successfully synthesized and extracts serve as capping agents. Forming of NPs was confirmed through UV-visible spectra, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) studies. The effect of NPs on the luminescence of Eu(TTFA)3 and Sm(TTFA)3 complexes was investigated. Luminescence intensities of the complexes were enhanced several times in the presence of silver and get quenched due to reabsorption of Au NPs. The nonlinear optical properties of NPs were calculated using open aperture Z-scan and degenerate four-wave mixing in the femtosecond region. The toxicity and antimicrobial activities of Ag and Au NPs were studied.

Simultaneous effects of magnetic field, pressure and temperature on the exciton binding energies are found in a 9.0 1.0 6.0 4.0 GaAs P / GaAs P quantum dot. Numerical calculations are carried out taking into consideration of spatial confinement effect. The cylindrical system is taken in the present problem with the strain effects. The electronic properties and the optical properties are found with the combined effects of magnetic field strength, hydrostatic pressure and temperature values. The exciton binding energies and the nonlinear optical properties are carried out taking into consideration of geometrical confinement and the external perturbations.Compact density approach is employed to obtain the nonlinear optical properties. The optical rectification coefficient is obtained with the photon energy in the presence of pressure, temperature and external magnetic field strength. Pressure and temperature dependence on nonlinear optical susceptibilities of generation of second and third order harmonics as a function of incident photon energy are brought out in the influence of magnetic field strength. The result shows that the electronic and nonlinear optical properties are significantly modified by the applications of external perturbations in a 9.0 1.0 6.0 4.0 GaAs P / GaAs P quantum dot.
