Abstract: | The CdS and CdS-Ag core-shell quantum dots (QDs) have been prepared. The nanostructures of the QDs were revealed by transmisson electron microscopy and absorption spectra, respectively. The third-order nonlinear optical properties of the core-shell QDs have been studied by using Z-scan technique with femtosecond pulses at the wavelength of 790 nm. The value of the effective nonlinear absorption coefficient beta(eff) of CdS-Ag QDs is measured to be about 16.8 cm/GW, which is about 400 times larger than that of bare CdS QDs of 3.9 x 10(-2) cm/GW. The nonlinear refraction index gamma of CdS-Ag QDs is about -2.3 x 10(-4) cm(2)GW, which is about 200 times larger than that of bare CdS QDs of 1.0 x 10(-6) cm(2)GW. |
