In the present communication, binary (ZnO:Ga2O3- 1:1 (ZGO), ZnO:Ga2O3- 2:1 (GaZn))/ternary (EZG (Eu2O3: ZnO: Ga2O3 (1:1:1)), MZG (MgO: ZnO: Ga2O3 (1:1:1)) NCs are synthesized by Piperbetle leaves extract as a reducing agent followed by calcination at 600 °C for 3 h. The Bragg reflections confirms the formation of single phase cubic symmetry with Fd3m space group in ZGO NCs whereas reflections related individual metal oxides are observed in the GaZn, EZG and MZG NCs. The irregular size and shaped nanoparticles are observed in all the synthesized NCs. The tuned band gap was found to be in the range of 3.08 to 3.11 eV. The optical nonlinearity of the specimens was analyzed using the open aperture Z-scan technique. The material demonstrated reverse saturable absorption attributed to a two-photon absorption (2PA) process. The non linear absorption coefficient follows the order MZG > GaZn > ZGO > EZG. However, the optical limiting threshold follows the order ZGO > GaZn > MZG > EZG NCs with increase in energy band gap. These outcomes distinctly indicate the superior potential of GaZn binary NCs for optical limiting applications. This characteristic is advantageous for shielding sensors and the human eye, safeguarding them against the detrimental effects of intense green laser radiation.
