摘要: Colloidal Au and poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) composite thin films are fabricated by spin-coating method. Linear optical absorption measurements of the Au/PVP composite films indicate an absorption peak around 530 nm due to the surface plasmon resonance of gold nanoparticles. Nonlinear optical properties are studied using standard Z-scan technique, and experimental results show large optical nonlinearities of the Au/PVP composite films. A large value of \chi3 / \alpha up to 0.56×10-10esu?cm is obtained, which is comparable to the best values reported in metal/oxide composite films.

关键词: Au/PVP, third-order optical nonlinearities, third-order susceptibility

Abstract: Colloidal Au and poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) composite thin films are fabricated by spin-coating method. Linear optical absorption measurements of the Au/PVP composite films indicate an absorption peak around 530 nm due to the surface plasmon resonance of gold nanoparticles. Nonlinear optical properties are studied using standard Z-scan technique, and experimental results show large optical nonlinearities of the Au/PVP composite films. A large value of $\chi^{(3)}/\alpha$  up to 0.56×10-10esu$\cdot$cm is obtained, which is comparable to the best values reported in metal/oxide composite films.

Key words: Au/PVP, third-order optical nonlinearities, third-order susceptibility
