Abstract
We report a methodical study about the third order optical nonlinearity of anisotropic growth of ZnO crystals embedded in polymeric matrices and nanowires on the glass substrate with the use of pre-existing textured ZnO, ZnS and TiO2 seeds using a Z-scan method with Nd:YAG laser (532 nm, 7 ns, 10 Hz). The studies show that the optical nonlinearity of ZnO crystals is highly dependent on the structural geometry and the correlation of semiconductor. Our study offers better insights into the third-order nonlinear optical characteristics of ZnO crystals and reveals great potential for applications in nonlinear photonic devices.
