Enhancement of Two photon absorption with Ni doping in the dilute magnetic Semiconductor ZnO Crystalline Nanorods

Abstract

In this letter, we have investigated the third-order optical nonlinearities of high-quality Ni doped ZnO nanorods crystallized in wurtzite lattice, prepared by the wet chemical method. In our experiments, we found that the two photon absorption coefficient beta increases by as much as 14 times i.e. 7.6 err 0.4 to 112 err 6 cm per GW, when the Ni doping is increased from 0 to 10 percent. The substantial enhancement in beta is discussed in terms of the bandgap scaling and Ni doping. Furthermore, we also show that the optical bandgap measured by UVVis and photo luminescence spectroscopic, continuously red shift with increasing Ni doping concentration. We envision that the strong nonlinear optical properties together with their dilute magnetic effects, they form an important class of materials for potential applications in magneto-optical and integrated optical chips.
