Abstract

The nonlinear optical responses of laser-ablated Si nanoclusters were measured at λ=532 nm. Re{χ(3)} values as high as -(1.33±0.33) × 10-3 esu were measured for films that were only 200 nm thick. The response time for this nonlinearity was as short as 3.5±0.5 ns, limited by our laser pulse duration.
