Au triangular nanoprisms have been prepared by the wet chemical method. By using
absorption measurements and finite difference time domain (FDTD) calculations, the dipole …

We report on deep-to-near-UV transient absorption spectra of core-shell Au/SiO_2 and
Au/TiO_2 nanoparticles (NPs) excited at the surface plasmon resonance of the Au core, and …

We measured the absorptive and refractive nonlinearities in Au nanoparticles when they are
embedded in a TiO2 film and when they are suspended in ethanol. The morphology of the …

This article summarizes investigations on nonlinear optical properties of Zn doped TiO 2
nano-colloidal suspension under pulsed excitation. Zn (1, 2 and 5 wt%) doped TiO 2 …

We use two different synthesis approaches for the preparation of TiO_2 films in order to
study their resulting third order optical nonlinearity, and its modification by the inclusion of …

Au–Ag core–shell nanorods with surface plasmon resonance wavelengths of 760–840 nm
were prepared. Wavelength-dependent nonlinear absorption coefficients (β) and nonlinear …

Strongly coupled plasmonic nanostructures with sub-10 nm gaps can enable intense electric
field enhancements which greatly benefit the various light–matter interactions. From the …

We observed enhanced energy transfer between quantum dots which were spin coated on
the surface of Ag island film. By adjusting the thickness of Al_2O_3 spacer layer (4-16 nm) …

We report on the ultrafast third-order optical nonlinearity in multilayer Au/TiO 2 composite
films fabricated on quartz substrates by pulsed laser deposition technique. The linear optical …

The nanostructures of noble metals are known to support Fano resonances, in most cases,
in the infrared. Blue-shifting Fano-resonant spectral range is of great importance for practical …
