摘要
Experimental results of third-order optical nonlinearities of chalcogenide glasses (ChGs) within Ge-Sn-Se ternary system at a mid-infrared window of 3 and 3.5 mu m are presented in this study. Using femtosecond Z-scan technique, positive nonlinear refractive indexes (n(2)) of the ChGs were obtained at the mid-infrared wavelengths, with no nonlinear absorption observed. The n(2) values at 3 mu m were lower than those at 3.5 mu m because of the presence of hydroxyl (-OH) group. The maximum n(2) was obtained from the Ge-Sn-Se ChGs with highest Sn content, reaching 2.43 x 10(-17) m(2)/W at 3.5 mu m, near two times that of As2Se3 glass. Thus, Ge-Sn-Se ChGs can be regarded as a good candidate for photonic devices that operated at mid-infrared window. (C) 2015 Optical Society of America
