In this study, we systematically investigated the relationship between the F/O ratio and the nonlinear refractive index of fluorophosphate glass, revealing that the nonlinear refractive index decreased exponentially as the F/O ratio increased. A formula for calculating the nonlinear refractive index based on the composition of fluorophosphate glasses was proposed. Since the nonlinear refractive index is directly related to self-focusing damage, we demonstrated through femtosecond laser-induced damage experiments that the F/O ratio can effectively modulate the self-focusing damage properties of fluorophosphate glass. Additionally, time-resolved pump-probe experiments were employed to capture the damage process and explore the damage mechanisms.

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.

In close proximity to quantum emitters (QEs), plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) facilitate energy exchange with the QEs, which is known as plasmon-exciton coupling. The strong coupling regime, associated with Rabi splitting, is crucial for advanced nanophotonic devices, including solar cells, single-photon nonlinear optics, and nanolasers. Recently, high refractive index semiconductor NPs (typically Si NPs) have emerged for designing strongly coupled systems.

In this study, graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized via a modified low-temperature Hummer's method and incorporated into a poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) matrix to fabricate PEO/GO nanocomposite thin films using a casting technique. This work explores how GO incorporation affects the structural and optical properties of PEO, with emphasis on its suitability for optical switching and other optoelectronic applications. The films were prepared with varying GO concentrations and characterized using XRD, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and other standard techniques.
