We report on the nonlinear optical characterization of a new amorphous composite based on Ge28Se60Sb12/PVA. Nonlinear optical characterization of these films was studied by the Z-scan technique using an Nd : YAG laser (532 nm, 7 ns, 10 Hz).The studies show that the material is highly nonlinear. The films show reverse saturable absorption, which makes it useful for optical limiting applications.
In this paper we report the preparation and the optical studies on nanocolloidal solutions of Ga5Sb10Ge25Se60 for the first time. The optical band gap of the material is found to be tunable depending on the cluster size. The cluster formation and the dependence of the cluster size with concentration were confirmed by the scanning electron microscope analysis. Nonlinear optical characterization of these solutions were studied by the Z-scan technique using an Nd:YAG laser (532 nm, 7 ns, 10 Hz).The studies show that the material is highly nonlinear. The solutions show reverse saturable absorption, which makes it useful for optical limiting applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
