Abstract

Abstract: Bi₂S₃nanocrystals( 1wt%) embedded in sodium borosilicate glass were synthesized through Sol-Gel process. The morphology and microstructure of Bi₂S₃nanocrystals in sodium borosilicate glass were characterized by means of X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), X-rayphotoelectron spectroscope (XPS), transmission electron microscope (TEM),energy dispersion X-ray spectra (EDX), scanning transmission electronmicroscope (STEM) and high-resolutions TEM (HRTEM). Furthermore, the third-order nonlinear optical properties of the glass were measured by femtosecondZ -scan technique at a wavelength of 770 nm. The results show that the size of Bi₂S₃nanocrystals in sodium borosilicate glass usually ranges from 10 to 30 nm, and the Bi₂S₃ nanocrystals are determined to be of the orthorhombic phase. The third-order nonlinear optical refractive index γ, absorption coefficient β and susceptibility χ⁽³⁾ of the glass are determined to be 5.90×10 ^-¹⁶m²/W, 7.35×10 ^-⁹m/W and 4.55×10 ^-¹⁸m²/V², respectively. There into, the third-order optical nonlinear susceptibility χ⁽³⁾ of the glass is four orders of magnitude greaterthan un-doped glass (χ⁽³⁾= 1.09×10 ^-²²m²/V²). It is clear that the third-order nonlinearoptical properties of the glass will be improved greatly with an increase of the Bi₂S₃ content.
