Abstract
The study of optical properties of Al2O3, SiO2, TiO2, and ZnO nanoparticles in weak optical fields is presented. We found that some nanoparticles have unique optical nonlinearity: The values of portions to nanoparticle refractive index and absorption coefficient increase to maxima, and then decrease to zero when the radiation intensity changes from 1 to 500 W/cm2. We estimated electron energy structures of nanoparticles and experimentally determined that such nonlinearity is directly related to peculiarities of the energy structure. We obtained a good fitting of theoretical results to the experimental ones (e.g. absorbance spectra of nanoparticles; the dependence of nanoparticle refractive index and absorption coefficient on radiation intensity).
