“…[379] Hybrid composites with graphene and ZnO or CdS nanoparticles dispersed in PMMA glasses were proposed by Chen and coworkers. [380,381] They showed that the interfacial charge transfer between ZnO and graphene induced enhanced nonlinear absorption and nonlinear scattering properties. Graphene based hybrid materials appear clearly as extremely promising composites for THG applications both in nanosecond and picosecond regimes.…”

Research on hybrid inorganic‐organic materials has experienced an explosive growth since the 1980s, with the expansion of soft inorganic chemistry based processes. Indeed, mild synthetic conditions, low processing temperatures provided by “chimie douce” and the versatility of the colloidal state allow for the mixing of the organic and inorganic components at the nanometer scale in virtually any ratio to produce the so called hybrid materials. Today a high degree of control over both composition and nanostructure of these hybrids can be achieved allowing tunable structure‐property relationships. This, in turn, makes it possible to tailor and fine‐tune many properties (mechanical, optical, electronic, thermal, chemical…) in very broad ranges, and to design specific multifunctional systems for applications. In particular, the field of “Hybrid‐Optics” has been very productive not only scientifically but also in terms of applications. Indeed, numerous optical devices based on hybrids are already in, or very close, to the market. This review describes most of the recent advances performed in this field. Emphasis will be given to luminescent, photochromic, NLO and plasmonic properties. As an outlook we show that the controlled coupling between plasmonics and luminescence is opening a land of opportunities in the field of “Hybrid‐Optics”.

“…The depth of these valleys increases as the loading concentration increases due to the stronger nonlinear absorption by more functional materials [40]. Besides, the lowest transmittance of Ormosil glasses at 532 nm is less than that at 1064 nm in the same loading concentration, using the same input energy density.…”

A class of graphene oxide (GO) Ormosil glasses with excellent nonlinear optical properties were made with sol-gel method. The as-prepared GO Ormosil glasses were highly transparent in visible and near-infrared region, due to the uniform dispersion of modified GO in the matrix. These Ormosil glasses have a broadband optical limiting effect from 532 to 1570 nm, with lower optical limiting onset energy density (F ON ). The nonlinear absorption coefficients of the Ormosil glass could reach 210.62, 647.96, and 43.10 cm GW −1 at 532, 1064, and 1570 nm. The optical limiting properties of the Ormosil glasses come from nonlinear absorption proved by Z-scan measurements. Therefore, the Ormosil glasses have potential applications in nonlinear optical areas.

“…One part of the light only including the transmitted light was detected by a detector (D1) since an aperture was used to block the scattered light, and the other part including amounts of scattered light was collected by lens and detected by another detector (D2). The detailed optical scheme was similar with that described in the reference [23,24]. In this case, D1 recorded the transmittance changes caused by NLS and NLA, while D2 recorded the transmittance changes mainly induced by NLA.…”

The optical limiting (OL) properties of single-layer graphene dispersions in different solvents were studied using a nanosecond pulse laser. The graphene dispersions, especially in heavy-atom solvents, showed much better OL properties compared with referenced C₆₀-toluene solution. The dependences of OL thresholds and nonlinear scattering (NLS) intensities on the solvent surface tensions indicated that, NLS effect played an important role in the OL process of graphene dispersions, while nonlinear absorption (NLA) effect might also contribute in solvents with heavy atoms. The NLA measurements further demonstrated the contribution of NLA effect to the excellent OL property of graphene dispersions in heavy-atom solvents.
