| Research Abstract |
We have studied nonlinear optical properties of nanostructured materials to investigate a guiding principle for development of photonic device materials. Exchanging the researchers in French and Japanese teams, we performed experiments and discussed to get mutual understanding of this study. In silver nanocrystal/glass composites, we investigated the nonlinear response in a femtosecond time region with different excitation conditions : surface plasmon, interband (Nagoya University) and intraband (Ecole polytechnique) excitations. we have found that the nonlinear response with a reponse time of a few ps is originated from hot electron effects and nonlinear refractive index is negative. For less than 200 fs, the electron system does not show the Fermi distribution because the system is not in equilibrium. Furthermore, we have observed oscillation behaviors in nonlinear response due to ballistic phonon scattering. In diluted magnetic semiconductors, we have succeeded to fabricate CdMnTe nanocrystals with a diameter of 12 nm by means of the laser ablation technique. In CuCl nanocrystals we have observed quantum beat phenomena due to the quantum interference between exciton and biexciton states and the interference between the zero-phonon and LO phonon assisted transition of confined excitons. Furthermore, we have observed, for the first time, the memory effect of the reservoir, ie. the non-Markovian phase relaxation of confined excitons since acoustic phonons are confined. Finally, we have found the the enhancement of third-order susceptibilities in copper halide nanocrystals is originated from the giant oscillator strength effect, and the two-exciton state and the multiexciton states due to the valence band structure play an important role in nonlinear susceptibilities at the exciton resonance in the large size region. These results give us a guiding principle to develop nonlinear optical materials on the nanometer scale.
