The strong nonlinear optical behavior of low-dimensional materials, such as quantum dots and core-shell quantum dots, has been a topic of intense research in recent years. As quantum dots have tunable emission via changes in their sizes, they are potentially useful in photo-electronics, photovoltaic nonlinear optics, light-emitting diode fabrication, and laser protections. Variation among core and shell shape and size, along with the chemical composition of quantum dots, define their enhanced nonlinear optical properties. Some specific nonlinear optical properties, such as nonlinear refraction, optical limiting, saturable absorption, reverse saturable absorption of CdTe and CdSe quantum dots (QDs), as well as core-shell QDs and their applications, were assessed in this paper.

A simple and effective approach based on the liquid phase exfoliation (LPE) method has been put forward for synthesizing boron quantum dots (BQDs). By adjusting the interactions between bulk boron and various solvents, the average diameter of produced BQDs is about 7 nm. The nonlinear absorption (NLA) responses of as-prepared BQDs have been systematically studied at 515 nm and 1030 nm. Experimental results prove that BQDs possess broadband saturable absorption (SA) and good third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility, which are comparable to graphene. The fast relaxation time and slow relaxation time of BQDs at 515 nm and 1030 nm are about 0.394–5.34 ps and 4.45–115 ps, respectively. The significant ultrafast nonlinear optical properties can be used in optical devices. Here, we successfully demonstrate all-optical diode application based on BQDs/ReS2 tandem structure. The findings are essential for understanding the nonlinear optical properties in BQDs and open a new pathway for their applications in optical devices.

The nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of lanthanide bisphthalocyanine (Lu(TBPc)Pc), including first hyperpolarizability, second hyperpolarizability and reverse saturable absorption (RSA), have been investigated. Furthermore, Lu(TBPc)Pc has also been applied for optical switch based on its RSA performance.

The nonlinear optical properties, absorbance and fluorescence spectra of Erythrosin B (ErB) aqueous solution in different CTAB concentration was studied. Z-scan technique under laser light excitation at 532 nm, was used for study reverse saturable absorption (RSA) of ErB. it was observed that the RSA of solution depend on CTAB concentration. A enhancing of absorbance and quenching of fluorescence is observed with increase of CTAB concentration in solution and the RSA can reduce the fluorescence intensity. It was proposed that the micelle can reduce the dye aggregation is solutions and it can affect on linear and nonlinear optical properties of ErB.

AbstractNonlinear optical properties of asymmetric pentaazadentate expanded porphyrin metal complexes are investigated. The transmittance dependence of the target compounds on the incident laser intensity generates different nonlinear optical effects in the excited states. The reverse saturable absorption at 532 nm in the ns pulses and the saturable absorption for the pspulses at high fluences are observed in solutions. The nonlinear refractive indices n2 aremeasured by the Z-scan technique. The optical limiting based on the RSA and transverse refraction are demonstrated for ns and continuous laser. An optical limiter based on the RSA and self-refraction is performed, in which the limitating threshold and amplitude of output energy are reduced.

Graphene/MoS2/Ag thin films were successfully prepared by the magnetron sputtering technique and liquid phase exfoliation. Structure, morphology, optical properties, and nonlinear optical characteristics of the graphene/MoS2/Ag and graphene/MoS2 thin films were studied by X-ray diffractometer, spectrophotometer, field-scanning electron microscope, and femtosecond (fs) Z-scan technique. The results of the fs Z-scan experiment indicate that the graphene/MoS2/Ag thin films exhibit reverse saturable absorption properties due to the free carrier absorption and two-photon absorption. More importantly, with the increase of DC magnetron sputtering power (from 5 to 15 W), the local surface plasmon resonance effect of the Ag thin films increases, which leads to the enhancement of nonlinear optical properties of the graphene/MoS2/Ag thin films. The nonlinear absorption coefficients of the graphene/MoS2/Ag thin films are increased from 1.14 × 10–10 to 1.8 × 10–10 m/W at 800 nm and from 4.79 × 10–11 to 6.79 × 10–11 m/W at 1,030 nm, and the nonlinear refraction index of the graphene/MoS2/Ag thin films is -4.37 × 10–17∼−4.18 × 10–16 m2/W under the excitation of 800 and 1,030 nm, respectively. Moreover, when the graphene/MoS2/Ag thin films were excited at 800 and 1,030 nm, respectively, the nonlinear figure of merit values of the graphene/MoS2/Ag thin films are increased from 1.23 to 2.91 and from 1.30 to 1.47, which are enough to support the application of the graphene/MoS2/Ag thin films in the field of all-optical switching applications.
