Polarization Dependent Nonlinear Absorption in Au Nanowire Array

Article Preview

Abstract:

The polarization dependent nonlinear absorption was observed in ordered Au nanowire array. The linear and nonlinear polarized absorption at 780 nm is investigated by Z-scan. When the angle between the polarization direction of input laser and the long axis of Au nanowires is 90°(perpendicular), the linear absorption reaches the maximum and the nonlinear absorption reaches the minimum. The nonlinear absorption coefficient β decreases from positive to negative as the angle increase from 0° to 90°. There may be two nonlinear absorption mechanisms resulting in this phenomenon: two-photon absorption and saturable absorption in nanoscale.
