Manganese (Mn), atomic number 25, belongs to Group VIIB in the Periodic Table and has high melting and boiling points. The hardness of Mn is slightly lower than that of iron, which exists widely in nature. Unlike the main-group elements, there is a paucity of research into the nonlinear optics of the subgroup elements. In this work, the broadband nonlinear absorption (NLA) properties of Mn nanosheets with average thicknesses of 5.0−11.0 nm were systematically analyzed using an open-aperture Z-scan technique for the first time as far as we know. The results show that Mn nanosheets exhibit excellent two-photon absorption (TPA) effects, i.e., optical-limiting (OL) behavior at the three wavelengths of 1064, 532, and 355 nm. In particular, the large TPA coefficient β of Mn nanosheets at 355 nm confirms the superior OL property in the ultraviolet region, which is promising for a wide range of applications in precision instrument and eye protection. This work will focus more on the NLA properties of transition metals.
