摘要： Nonlinear materials have gained wide interest as saturable absorbers and pulse compression for pulsed laser applications due to their unique optical properties. This work investigates the third-order nonlinear phenomenon of tungsten trioxide (WO$_{3}$) thin films. The giant nonlinear absorption and nonlinear refractive index of WO$_{3}$ thin films were characterized by $Z$-scan method at 800 nm. We experimentally observed the giant saturable absorption (SA) and nonlinear refractive index of WO$_{3}$ thin films prepared by the seedless layer hydrothermal method, with SA coefficient being as high as $-2.59\times 10 ^{5}$ cm$\cdot$GW$^{-1}$. The SA coefficient is at least one order of magnitude larger than those of the conventional semiconductors. The nonlinear refractive index $n_{2}$ of WO$_{3}$ film has been observed for the first time in recent studies and the corresponding coefficient can be up to 1.793 cm$^{2}\cdot$GW$^{-1}$. The large third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) response enables WO$_{3}$ thin films to be promising candidates for optoelectronic and photonic applications in the near-infrared domain.
