石墨烯及其衍生物作为新型碳纳米结构,由于其优异的光限幅性能而受到广泛关注,但现有的工作多侧重于其在液相体系中光限幅效应及其起因研究.本文以壳聚糖为成膜基质,将氧化石墨烯(GO)与壳聚糖(CS)在液相中均匀共混后成膜,对比研究GO溶液和GO-CS复合膜的光限幅效应及其起因.结果表明在线性透过率相同的情况下,GO在固相基质中表现出比液相基质更强的光限幅效应和更弱的非线性散射.这说明不同于碳纳米管简单的非线性散射,在GO中可能存在多种非线性光学效应.

Raman spectroscopy of gold nanoparticles in polycrystalline LiF film

Results of the Raman spectroscopy analysis of a new composite material based on a thin polycrystalline LiF film containing gold nanoparticles are presented. The formation of spherical gold nanoparticles in the film has been confirmed by the X-ray structural analysis and observation of the optical plasmon resonance absorption spectrum with a maximum at 534 nm. The obtained composite layers have been subjected to annealing by ruby laser (λ = 694 nm) in the spectral region on a descending long-wavelength wing of the plasmon absorption band of gold nanoparticles. Raman spectroscopy has been applied for the first time to the investigation of the modification of the shape of gold nanoparticles in LiF during laser annealing. The experimental Raman spectra are compared with calculated modes of in-phase bending vibrations generated in gold nanoparticles.     

Diffraction patterns and nonlinear optical properties of gold nanoparticles

Stable gold nanoparticles have been prepared by using soluble starch as both the reducing and stabilizing agents; this reaction was carried out at 40 °C for 5 h. The obtained gold nanoparticles were characterized by UV–Vis absorption spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and z-scan technique. The size of these nanoparticles was found to be in the range of 12–22 nm as analyzed using transmission electron micrographs. The optical properties of gold nanoparticles have been measured showing the surface plasmon resonance. The second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties were investigated by using a continuous-wave (CW) He–Ne laser beam with a wavelength of 632.8 nm at three different incident intensities by means of single beam techniques. The nonlinear refractive indices of gold nanoparticles were obtained from close aperture z-scan in order of 10^?7 cm²/W. Then, they were compared with diffraction patterns observed in far-field. The nonlinear absorption of these nanoparticles was obtained from open aperture z-scan technique. The values of nonlinear absorption coefficient are obtained in order of 10^?1 cm/W.     

Pulsed-laser generation of gold nanoparticles with on-line surface plasmon resonance detection

Size of nanoparticles is an important parameter for their applications. The real-time monitoring is required for reliable and reproducible production of nanoparticles with controllable size. We present results of our research on development of the system for the online nanoparticle characterization during their production by a laser. The laser ablation chamber which allows measurements of surface plasmon resonance spectra during the nanoparticle generation process has been designed and fabricated. The online characterization system was tested by producing and modification of gold nanoparticles. Nanoparticles were generated by nanosecond-laser (wavelength 1064 nm) ablation of gold target in deionized water, and optimal conditions for the highest nanoparticle productivity were estimated. The mean diameter of nanoparticles was determined using their absorption spectra measured in the real-time during the ablation experiments and from the TEM images analysis, and it varied from 20 to 45 nm. The mismatch between nanoparticle diameters, estimated using these two methods, is due to the polydispersity of the generated nanoparticles. The further experiments of laser-induced modification of colloidal gold nanoparticles were carried out using second harmonic (wavelength 532 nm) of nanosecond Nd:YAG laser and alteration in nanoparticle size were acquired by the online measurement system.     

Rapid synthesize of gold nanoparticles by microwave irradiation method and its application as an optical limiting material

We present rapid synthesis of gold nanoparticles by microwave irradiation method. Sample with average particle size 7.7 nm is obtained from TEM. Linear and nonlinear optical studies of the prepared samples are discussed. Reverse saturable absorption (RSA) at longitudinal surface plasmon resonance (SPR) in gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have been observed using Z-scan and transient absorption techniques with 532 nm laser pulses. Such RSA behavior makes Au NPs an ideal candidate for optical limiting applications.     

Laser annealing of silica glass with ion-synthesized copper nanoparticles

The action of KrF excimer laser radiation on the composite material consisting of the silica glass with copper nanoparticles is investigated as a function of the number of nanosecond laser pulses. Metal nanoparticles are synthesized by ion implantation. It is established using optical reflectance measurements of composite layers that, at the initial stage, the irradiation leads to the fragmentation of the largest nanoparticles. Then, after irradiation by several pulses, the particles become larger due to the heating of the glass. The laser treatment for a longer time (several tens and hundreds of pulses) results in the dissociation of nanoparticles into small clusters and individual atoms. The mechanisms responsible for the modification of the composite material under high-power laser radiation are discussed.     

Brownian diffusion of gold nanoparticles in an optical trap studied by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy

The effect of thermal-induced Brownian motion on gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) in optical traps is studied by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) method. The Brownian motion and optical trapping potential are investigated by the decay time of the FCS curve and the laser power. It is shown that that the probability of finding a gold nanoparticle in the trap depends on the ratio of the optical energy of the particle to its thermal energy. A power threshold is observed by the decay time as a function of laser power. The experimental studies show that the temperature rise does not seriously affect the average number of particles in the focal spot, but the average residence time is more sensitively affected by the temperature.     

Optical properties of poly(methyl methacrylate)–titania nanostructure thin films containing ellipsoid-shaped titania nanoparticles from ex-situ sol-gel method at low growth temperature

This paper reports on the linear and nonlinear optical responses of the PMMA-TiO₂ nanohybrid thin films which are synthesized by a flexible ex-situ sol-gel/polymerization process, assisted by spin coating and multi-step baking. Triethanolamine (TEOA) as surfactant and shape controller is used to modify the interface between PMMA and TiO₂, allowing a highly homogeneous dispersion of the ellipsoid-shaped TiO₂ nanoparticles. The resulting nanohybrid thin films have highly optical transparency as proved by the linear absorption photon-energy spectra and indicate an enhanced nonlinear optical (NLO) response as confirmed by the Z-scan technique using 800-nm, 120-femtosecond (fs) laser pulses, highlighting the potential of the nanocomposites for efficient optical devices.     

Effect of thickness on the optical nonlinearity of gold colloidal nanoparticles prepared by laser ablation

The effect of thickness on the nonlinear optical properties of Au nanoparticles which produced by laser ablation of high purity gold bulk in distilled water were investigated by employing different optical techniques. Experiments were performed on the 0.3, 0.6, and 1 mm thickness cells of Au nanoparticles-fluid. The effect of nonlinear refractive index of samples on the laser beam broadening was observed. The optical limiting behavior of samples is investigated by measuring the transmitted intensity of the laser beam through the samples. The third order nonlinearity of Au nanoparticles-fluid was measured by using Z-scan data. Results show a positive second order refractive index and absorption coefficient for Au nanoparticles-fluid that are increased in due of increasing the thickness of the cells. The magnitudes of both real and imaginary parts of third order susceptibility of samples are increased by increasing the thickness.     

Control of plasmon resonance of gold nanoparticles via excimer laser irradiation

A significant shift of the surface plasmon resonance absorption spectrum of gold nanoparticles was obtained by the oxidation of the nanoparticle surface via pulsed excimer laser irradiation. The high UV-light absorption of gold nanoparticles chemically produced by citrate reduction led to the important surface oxidation up to 26%. As a result of laser irradiation, the gold/gold oxide core-shell nanoparticles with little variation of the nanoparticle size were produced. After only 5 min of laser irradiation, a 12-nm blue shift in surface plasmon resonance was obtained. The possible mechanisms governing the modification in surface plasmon resonance by laser irradiation of gold nanoparticles were discussed.
