Nonlinear optical response from composites based on nanostructures consisting of an absorbing core and metallic shell near the plasmon resonance

摘要

The object of experimental study and numerical simulation is the nonlinear optical response from composites with nanoparticles consisting of a nonlinearly absorbing dielectric core and a metallic shell. It is shown that a small spread in nanoparticle sizes near the plasmon resonance may significantly change the dependence of the nonlinear optical response on the concentration of nanoparticles of each size.
