Abstract

The enhancement of optical nonlinearities in a gold film with random roughness were measured by Z-scan technique with 0.71 ns, 532 nm laser pulses. The values of the nonlinear absorption coefficient β and nonlinear refractive index coefficient γ were obtained through open- and close-aperture Z-scan, β = -1.3 × 10-5 m/W, γ = 1. 32 × 10-12 m2/W, correspondingly, the imaginary part χ(3)Im and the real part χ(3) Re of the third-order nonlinear susceptibility χ(3) were obtained, respectively. The thermal effect and the enhancement of optical nonlinearities due to the surface plasmon resonance in metal film were discussed. © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
