The composite materials containing metal nanoparticles (MNPs) are now considered as a
basis for designing new photonic media for optoelectronics and nonlinear optics. We …

Saturable absorption (SA) and reverse saturable absorption (RSA) at 532 nm were
observed in Ag nanodots prepared by pulsed laser deposition. The real [Re χ (3)] and …

The metal–semiconductor heterostructures have recently emerged as a new class of
functional materials for their potential applications due to plasmon-exciton interactions …

We report spatial self-and cross-phase modulation effects in metal-dielectric
nanocomposites (MDNCs) whose nonlinear (NL) response is dominated by the quintic or …

Ag nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in a zirconium oxide matrix in the form of Ag: ZrO 2
nanocomposite (NC) thin films were synthesized by using the sol–gel technique followed by …

Over the past few decades, the rapid development of ultrafast lasers, such as femtosecond
lasers and picosecond lasers, has opened up new avenues for material processing due to …

The giant nonlinear optical responses of photonic minibands of (Ag/SiO2) 4 metal–dielectric
multilayers are reported using high intense femtosecond laser pulses. Ag and SiO2 …

In this work, GeO 2 modified with PbF 2 and B 2 O 3 glasses were synthesized by
conventional melting and quenching technique to investigate the effect of modifier network …
