Femtosecond Nonlinear Optical Properties of 2D Metallic NbS2 in the Near Infrared
Posted on 2020-06-30 - 16:23
The understanding of the nonlinear
optical (NLO) properties of photonic materials is relevant and necessary
for basic studies and technological developments. Among the materials
with high optical nonlinearities, layered transition-metal dichalcogenides
(LTMDs) have attracted considerable attention from the viewpoint of
both synthesis as well as characterization and applications. We report
here the third-order NLO properties of one LTMDthe metallic
NbS2that was prepared by a modified redox exfoliated
method, suspended in acetonitrile. The LTMD was morphologically and
compositionally characterized using transmission electron microscopy,
atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Raman scattering, and
linear absorption. The Z-scan technique was employed to characterize
the nonlinear refraction (NLR) and nonlinear absorption (NLA) behavior
in the femtosecond regime. Metallic NbS2 presented a sign
inversion of the nonlinear refractive index from negative (self-defocusing)
to positive (self-focusing) with the increase of intensity up to 100
GW/cm2. Two distinct features characteristic of NLA, two-photon
absorption and saturated absorption, were also observed for different
intensity ranges, with the former evolving into the latter as the
intensity increased in the same range as for the NLR measurements.
The material’s band structure of NbS2 was calculated
using the density functional theory, and the origin of the nonlinearities
is discussed by comparison with the experimental data.
