太赫兹波作为未来6G通信的一个重要波段,是目前光学和电子学交叉方向的研究热点,但是其中的太赫兹源,尤其是基于微纳光学的集成型太赫兹源备受关注。基于纳米天线阵列中的等离子体共振响应特性,设计了一种宽波段的太赫兹辐射源。利用麦克斯韦方程和金属等离子体的动力学方程,研究了纳米天线阵列在脉冲激光激发下太赫兹时域信号的产生过程。研究发现产生的太赫兹辐射的偏振和入射光的偏振垂直,其发射带宽和激发光的脉宽密切相关。纳米天线阵列具有可设计和易集成性,有望在集成型太赫兹源器件方面有较好的应用,并为未来基于表面等离子体光学的太赫兹源设计提供理论基础。

Understanding and controlling defect in two-dimensional materials is important for both linear and nonlinear optoelectronic devices, especially in terms of tuning nonlinear optical absorption. Taking advantage of an atomic defect formed easily by smaller size, molybdenum disulfide nanosheet is prepared successfully with a different size by gradient centrifugation. Interestingly, size-dependent sulfur vacancies are observed by high-resolution X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The defect effect on nonlinear absorption is investigated by Z-scan measurement at the wavelength of 800 nm. The results suggest the transition from saturable absorption to reverse saturable absorption can be observed in both dispersions and films. First principle calculations suggest that sulfur vacancies act as the trap state to capture the excited electrons. Moreover, an energy-level model with the trap state is put forward to explain the role of the sulfur vacancy defect in nonlinear optical absorption. The results suggest that saturable absorption and reverse saturable absorption originate from the competition between the excited, defect state and ground state absorption. Our finding provides a way to tune the nonlinear optical performance of optoelectronic devices by defect engineering.

The prominent third-order nonlinear optical properties of films are studied through the Z-scan technique using a femtosecond pulsed laser at 1030 nm. Open-aperture (OA) and closed-aperture (CA) Z-scan measurements are performed at different intensities to investigate the nonlinear absorption and refraction properties of films. OA Z-scan results show that films always hold a saturable absorption characteristic without transition to reverse saturable absorption. Further, a large nonlinear absorption coefficient is determined to be by fitting the OA Z-scan curve at the peak intensity of . In addition, through the slow saturation absorption model, the ground state absorption cross section, excited state absorption cross section, and absorber’s density were found to be , , and , respectively. CA Z-scan results exhibit a classic peak–valley shape of the CA Z-scan signal, which reveals a self-defocusing optical effect of films under the measured environment. Furthermore, a considerable nonlinear refractive index value can be obtained at . Ultimately, the values of the real and imaginary parts of the third-order nonlinear s
