Z-scan theory based on a diffraction model

Based on Fresnel-Mrchhoff diffraction theory, a diffraction model of nonlinear optical media interacting with a Gaussian beam has been set up that can interpret the Z-scan phenomenon in a new way. This theory not only is consistent with the conventional Z-scan theory for a small nonlinear phase shift but also can be used for larger nonlinear phase shifts. Numerical computations indicate that the shape of the Z-scan curve is greatly affected by the value of the nonlinear phase shift. The symmetric dispersionlike Z-scan curve is valid only for small nonlinear p base shifts (\Deltaphi(0)\ < pi), but, with increasingly larger nonlinear phase shifts, the valley of the transmittance is severely suppressed and the peak is greatly enhanced. The power output through the aperture will oscillate with increasing nonlinear phase shift caused by the input laser power. The aperture transmittance will attenuate and saturate with increasing Kerr constant. (C) 2003 Optical Society of America.

Z扫描法研究nc-Si/SiN_x多量子阱材料非线性光学特性

采用射频磁控反应溅射技术与热退火处理制备了nc-Si/SiN_x多量子阱材料.对样品进行了小角度XRD、Raman光谱、吸收光谱测试,研究了其结构和光学性质.采用皮秒脉冲激光单光束Z-扫描技术研究了样品在非共振吸收区的三阶非线性光学特性.实验结果表明,其非线性折射率为负值,非线性吸收属于双光子吸收.由实验数据计算得材料三阶非线性极化率为7.50×10~(-8)esu,该值比体硅材料的三阶非线性极化率大4个数量级.对材料光学非线性产生的机理进行了探讨,认为材料的非线性极化率的增加来源于材料量子限制效应增强.
