ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1021/jp047787q | Abstract: | We report the ultrafast and large third-order nonlinear optical properties of CdS nanocrystals (NCs) embedded in a polymeric film. The CdS NCs of 2 nm radius are synthesized by an ion-exchange method and highly concentrated in the two layers near the surfaces of the polymeric film. The two-photon absorption coefficient and the optical Kerr coefficient are measured with laser pulses of 250 fs duration at 800 nm wavelength. The one-photon and two-photon figures of merit are determined to be 3.1 and 1.3, respectively, at irradiance of 2 GW/cm2. The observed nonlinearities have a recovery time of ∼1 ps. The two-photon-generated free carrier effects have also been observed and discussed. These results demonstrate that CdS NCs embedded in polymeric film are a promising candidate for optical switching applications. © 2005 American Chemical Society. | Source Title: | Journal of Physical Chemistry B | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/98496 | ISSN: | 15206106 | DOI: | 10.1021/jp047787q |
