Second-order optical nonlinearity in Sb2S3 microcrystal doped glasses by electron beam irradiation

The Preparation and the Third‐Order Optical Nonlinearities of Sodium Borosilicate Glass Doped with CuInS2 Quantum Dots

“…[1][2][3][4][5] Among these semiconductor nanomaterials that had been studied in the field nonlinear optics, the semiconductor quantum dot glasses were regarded as an important kind of nonlinear optical material. Recently, many researchers have attempted to introduce various semiconductor quantum dots (e.g., IB-VIIA, 6 IIB-VIA, [7][8][9][10][11][12] IVA-VIA, [13][14][15] VA-VIA, 16,17 and so on) into the glass matrices through various methods. They observed that these as-obtained semiconductor quantum dot glasses exhibited excellent nonlinear optical properties.…”

“…Among these semiconductor nanomaterials that had been studied in the field of nonlinear optics, the semiconductor quantum dots glasses were regarded as an important nonlinear optical material. Recently, many researchers have attempted to introduce various semiconductor quantum dots (e.g., CuCl [5], CdS [6], CdTe [7], ZnS [8], ZnSe [9], PbS [10,11], PbSe [12], Sb 2 S 3 [13], Bi 2 S 3 [14], and so on) into the glass matrices through various methods. They observed that these as-obtained semiconductor quantum dot glasses exhibited excellent nonlinear optical properties.…”

Development of Silica Fibers and Microstructures with Large and Thermodynamically Stable Second Order Nonlinearity

“…Recently, a few research groups have developed several methods that aim to overcome the lack of second-order nonlinearity in silica fiber devices. Most such methods are based on poling silica glass using external fields, with examples including optical poling [2,4], electrical poling [5][6][7][8][9], UV poling [10][11], corona poling [12][13][14], or doping microstructures into fibers [15][16][17]. However, since all such techniques introduce a preferred direction into silica glass, the induced second-order nonlinearity is thermodynamically unstable and tends to decay over time [2,[18][19][20].…”
