Nonlinear optical properties of mushroom-shaped CdSe/CdS coreshells.
The third-order nonlinear optical susceptibilities of mushroom-shaped CdSe/CdS coreshells as a function of concentration have been investigated using polarization- and concentration-resolved degenerate four-wave mixing in a resonant region. The effective third-order nonlinear optical susceptibilities, /chi(3)xxxx/ and /chi(3)xyyx/ of CdSe/CdS coreshells were estimated to be approximately 1.86 x 10(-21)-1.03 x 10(-20) m2/V2, and approximately 0.45 x 10(-21)-6.15 x 10(-21) m2/V2, respectively, for various concentrations of approximately 0.64 x 10(-3)-4.95 x 10(-3) mol/m3. The second hyperpolarizabilities, /<gammah>xxxx/ and /<gammah>xyyx/, of CdSe/CdS coreshells were extracted to be approximately 2.37 x 10(-41) m5/V2 and approximately 1.29 x 10(-41) m5/V2, respectively.
