Large Nonlinear Optical Absorption Response in Monolayer Graphene and Graphene Oxide

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nonlinear absorption of monolayer graphene and graphene oxide suspensions were studied in the wavelength of 800 nm by Z-scan method with 50fs pulses. Large reverse saturable absorption is observed in graphene, while graphene oxide shows saturable absorption at the incident intensity of 46 GW/cm2. The values of nonlinear absorption coefficient also have been determined from the experimental data. The NLA coefficient β of the monolayer graphene suspension is 1.96×10-2cm/GW,while the NLA coeffiecient β of graphene oxide is-6.84×10-3cm/GW.
