摘要
A quantitative comparison of third-order nonlinear optical properties of colloidal gold nanoshells (NSs) and gold nanorods (NRs) in water solutions has been carried out using open- and closed-aperture Z-scan measurements, performed with femtosecond laser pulses over a broad range of wavelengths. Absorption saturation was found to be a dominant effect for all the studied nanoparticles; however, two-photon absorption (2PA) properties were also detected, and were clearly resolved especially at the shortest wavelengths used. The value of the merit factor sigma(2)/M (2PA cross section scaled by the molecular weight) for the NRs (10 x 35 nm) at 530 nm is 7.5 (GM . mol/g), while for the NSs it is 1.9 (GM . mol/g) at the same wavelength.
