Effect of SnO 2 and SeO 2 in Non-linear Optical Properties of Au Nanoparticle Doped Self-striking Red Ruby Glasses
Main Article Content
Abstract
Gold nanoparticle doped self-striking hybrid silicate glasses were prepared by conventional melt quenching technique. Absorption spectra show surface plasmon peak ~527 nm for 70.95SiO2-11Na2O-9CaO-9K2O-0.05Au glass and ~517 nm for 70.475SiO2 -11Na2O9CaO-9K2O-0.005SeO2-0.5SnO2-0.02Au glass. Incorporation of Sn and Se in low concentration shows blue shift in surface plasmon resonance peaks due to their size dependent property as well as creation of NBO’s in the silicate network. The enhancement of nonlinear absorption coefficient leading to two photon absorption has been correlated with size dependent in the network due to presence of SnO2+SeO2. Glasses doped with low concentration of SnO2 and SeO2 show higher nonlinear absorption coefficient 𝛽 value for limiting and switching device applications.
