We have investigated dispersion curves of a third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility, χ(3), around the surface-plasmon resonance energy for a Ag nanocrystal-glass composite by means of z-scan and degenerate four-wave mixing measurements. Real and imaginary parts of χ(3) of the composite that contains Ag nanocrystals with an average diameter of 7 nm have been measured at room temperature. The imaginary part of χ(3) exhibits a negative peak near the surface-plasmon resonance, and the largest negative value is -(1.5 ± 0.2) × 10-10 electrostatic units (esu). The real part of χ(3) changes from -(4 ± 2) × 10-11 esu at the lower energy side of the surface-plasmon peak to +(4.4 ± 0.5) × 10-11 esu at the higher energy side. We calculated dispersion curves for the composite assuming that the real and the imaginary parts of the dielectric constant of metal nanocrystals change by optical excitations that are due to the creation of hot electrons. The obtained dispersion curves show a characteristic feature that differs from the exciton system in semiconductors. © 2003 Optical Society of America.

Relaxation dynamics of electrons in gold nanocrystals with diameters of 3.0-17.5 nm embedded in SiO2, Al2O3, and TiO2 matrices have been investigated by means of femtosecond pump and probe spectroscopy. The experiments show that the energy relaxation rates depend on both the nanocrystal size and the matrix material. A model taking account of electron-breathing mode interaction, electron-bulk phonon interaction, and thermal diffusion through the interface can explain well the observed results. The breathing mode damping in the medium on a time scale of a few picoseconds plays an important role in the electron-energy dissipation process of the nanoscale composite system.

We heve investigated relaxation dynamics of photoexcited carriers and formation dynamics of excitons in a 10 nm-In0.53Ga0.47As/InP multiple quantum well at 77 X by femtosecond pump and probe spectroscopy. The observed spectral change of the exciton absorption band induced by the pump pulse is composed of broadening and bleaching components. The spectral broadening is attributed to scattering between excitons created by the probe pulse and free carriers generated by the pump pulse, and the bleaching is mainly due to the phase space filling. The time evolution of the absorption change shows that formation of excitons occurs on a time scale of similar to 20 ps after the intraband relaxation of photoexcited carriers.
