“…The consequences are surprising at first sight: The effective thermo-optical coefficients of the global medium are amplified by the effect of local field enhancement, and presents spectral variations in both sign and magnitude very different from those observed for the constituents taken separately. Stationary ellipsometry measurements at different temperatures have confirmed these findings [97]. Additionally, we have been able to infer that the thermal expansion of metal nanoparticles is quenched when embedded in a solid matrix.…”

The optical response of materials based on gold nanoparticle assemblies depends on many parameters regarding both material morphology and light excitation characteristics. In this paper, the interplay between the optical and thermal responses of such media is particularly investigated under its theoretical aspect. Both conventional and original modeling approaches are presented and applied to concrete cases. We first show how the interaction of light with matrix-embedded gold nanoparticles can result in the generation of thermal excitations through different energy exchange mechanisms. We then describe how thermal processes can affect the optical response of a nanoparticle assembly. Finally, we connect both aspects and point out their involvement in the nonlinear optical response of nanocomposite media. This allows us to tackle two key issues in the field of third-order nonlinear properties of gold nanoparticles: The influence of the generalized thermal lens in the long laser pulse regime and the hot electron contribution to the gold particle intrinsic third-order susceptibility, including its spectral dispersion and intensity-dependence. Additionally, we demonstrate the possible significant influence of the heat carrier ballistic regime and phonon rarefaction in the cooling dynamics of an embedded gold nanoparticle subsequent to ultrafast pulsed laser excitation.

“…The stationary thermo-optical regime has been recently studied in our group from both theoretical and experimental points of view [96,97]. Let us here synthesize the key principles and issues in order to apply the findings to one specific aspect of the nonlinear optical response of gold nanoparticles.…”

“…Liquids with suspended nanoparticles display thermal conductivities significantly higher than that of the base fluids. Besides the numerous researches on the linear and nonlinear optical properties of noble metal nanoparticles, the photothermal properties of nanofluids have not deserved the same attention [11][12][13]. In addition to an interest in basic research, the study of the photothermal properties of nanofluids is relevant for technological and medical applications.…”

Enhanced Thermal Lens Effect in Gold Nanoparticle-Doped Lyotropic Liquid Crystal by Nanoparticle Clustering Probed by Z-Scan Technique

et al. 2015

This work presents an experimental study of the thermal lens effect in Au nanoparticles-doped lyotropic liquid crystals under cw 532 nm optical excitation. Spherical Au nanoparticles of about 12 nm were prepared by Turkevich's method, and the lyotropic liquid crystal was a ternary mixture of SDS, 1-DeOH, and water that exhibits an isotropic phase at room temperature. The lyotropic matrix induces aggregation of the nanoparticles, leading to a broad and a red-shifted surface plasmon resonance. The thermal nonlinear optical refraction coefficient n 2 increases as a power of number density of nanoparticles, being possible to address this behavior to nanoparticle clustering.
