Article Abstract
Silver nanoparticles synthesized in a synthetic sapphire matrix were fabricated by ion implantation using the metal vapor vacuum arc ion source. The optical absorption spectrum of the Ag: Al2O3 composite material has been measured. The analysis of the supercontinuum spectrum displayed the nonlinear refractive property of this kind of sample. Nonlinear optical refraction index was identified at 800 nm excitation using the Kerr-lens autocorrelation (KLAC) technique. The spectrum showed that the material possessed self-defocusing property (n(2) = -1.1 × 10(-15) cm(2)W). The mechanism of nonlinear refraction has been discussed.

Incorporating atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials with optical fibers expands their potential for optoelectronic applications. Recent advancements in chemical vapor deposition have enabled the batch production of these hybrid fibers, paving the way for practical implementation. However, their functionality remains constrained by the integration of a single 2D material, restricting their versatile performance.

Soliton propagation of laser radiation in various nonlinear media is of great importance because of its numerous applications. Active periodic structures with parity-time symmetry provide the possibility for the solitons generation due to the balance of energy gain and loss. In the present paper, we derive an approximate analytical soliton solution to a model of two-color laser radiation propagation in an active periodic structure.

Nonlinear optical (NLO) crystals capable of expanding the spectral region of solid-state are of great importance for many high-tech applications, yet their rational structure design remains a great challenge because of the conflicting property requirements among second harmonic generation (SHG) response, ultraviolet (UV) cut-off edge, and birefringence. Herein, based on the chemical disubstitution of the classic NLO crystal SrBeBO (SBBO), , substituting [BO] triangles with larger π-conjugated [BO] groups and substituting high-toxic [BeO] tetrahedra with environment-friendly [AlO] tetrahedra, a new high-performance aluminoborate NLO crystal, BaAlBO, has been successfully designed and synthesized. The theoretical calculations and optical property measurements indicate that BaAlBO exhibits not only the largest SHG response among the reported aluminoborates (2.

In this work, we report a theoretical investigation of the third-order nonlinear optical properties of the metronidazolium-picrate salt. The effects of the crystal environment are accounted for by the Iterative Charge Embedding approach, and the electronic calculations are carried out at the DFT (CAM-B3LYP/6-311++G-(d,p)) level. Furthermore, we use the results to parametrize a cavity Quantum Electrodynamics model for a quantum memory based on the Off-Resonant Cascaded Absorption protocol.

The semiconductor-electrolyte interface with strong electrical tunability offers a platform for tuning nonlinear optical (NLO) processes and achieving giant optical nonlinearities. However, such a demonstration and fundamental mechanistic understanding of electrochemically tuned NLO properties have not been reported. Here, we developed an electrochemical Z-scan system to characterize the evolution of NLO responses in tellurium nanorod films under bias voltage.
