Abstract
GeS 2 based multi-component chalcogenide glasses, Ge–S–Sb(Cd), were prepared in series. With femtosecond time-resolved optical Kerr gate technique, we investigate their ultrafast third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties. The strongest NLO response comes from 0.70GeS 2–0.30Sb 2S 3. Its χ (3), 1.8 × 10 −12 esu, is more than three times to GeS 2 glass. Their instant NLO responses are within 120 fs pulse duration. We suggest that lone-pair electrons from highly polarizable Sb atom in [SbS 3] structure unit play an important role for the enhanced NLO response. This enhancement is much stronger to the contribution from S–S covalent bond.
