Abstract:We present a detailed investigation on thickness-dependent third-order (χ (3) ) nonlinear optical properties of RF-sputtered W Se2 thin-films using ultrashort pulses centered at different excitation wavelengths. The single-beam Z-scan based investigation in the visible spectrum reveals the prominent role of Pauli-blocking towards inducing saturable absorption or optical limiting in W Se2 thin-films of various thicknesses. The study also explores the dispersion in third-order nonlinear susceptibility (χ (3) ) i… Show more
