Outline of Final Research Achievements

We have investigated on third-order optical nonlinearity of Ag nanoparticles. Ag nanoparticles were fabricated in silica glass by negative ion implantation. The third-order optical susceptibility of Ag nanoparticles with various sizes was evaluated with spectroscopic ellipsometry and femto-second-pulse pump-probe spectroscopy. The third-order optical susceptibility is sensitive for the particle size and exponentially increases with the decrease in the size smaller than 15 nm due to dominance of a quantum size effect. The dispersion and the amplitude reflect the change on transition energy between quantum discrete levels. We have experimentally demonstrated a modulation of the local electric field in a Ag nanoparticles with the third-order optical nonlinearity. The dispersion of the local field factor is also shifted with applied light intensity.
