Nonlinear saturable absorption of the sodium borosilicate glass containing Bi2S3 nanocrystals using Z-scan technique

Synthesis, Characterization, and Photoluminescence on the Glass Doped with AgInS2Nanocrystals

“…The stoichiometric composition of the glass was designed for the following: Na 2 O (7 mol%), B 2 O 3 (23 mol%), and SiO 2 (70 mol%) • AgInS 2 (1.5 mol%). The synthetic process of the stiff gel agreed with our previous work [18]. Silver and indium nitrate salts were chosen to form AgInS 2 nanocrystals.…”

Synthesis, characterization, and third-order nonlinear optical properties of copper quantum dots embedded in sodium borosilicate glass

“…These Cu quantum dots in the glass matrix are isolated and stabilized in many tiny pores and occupy narrow distribution of size. Moreover, the transparent and thermal conductivity of sodium borosilicate glass also will contribute to enhance the third-order optical nonlinearity [33]. The high number density, homogeneous dispersion and well-controlled particle size distribution of Cu quantum dots in our sample may be the reason for the observed large third-order susceptibility.…”

Morphology Manipulation and Related Properties of High Crystalline Bi2S3 Nanorods by Reflux Approach

“…Bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) is a semiconductor of great interest because of its unique optical and electronic properties [5]. Bismuth sulfide (Bi2S3) nanoparticles can be used in various fields such as thermoelectric devices [6], photovoltaics [7], nonlinear absorption [8], biomolecule detection [9], photodiode array and infrared spectroscopy [10,11]. Till date various morphologies of Bi2S3 such as nanorods [12], nanoparticles [13], nanowires and nanoflowers [14], have been synthesized by using a variety of methods such as hydrothermal route [15], precipitation [16], and microwave irradiation [17].…”
