How to measure ⁽³⁾ of a nanoparticle Academic Article

abstract

• Most of the known methods to measure the nonlinear optical properties of materials deal with the bulk properties, but there are many demanding applications that require those measurements to be done on a single particle or a single molecule. We report a novel application of nonlinear optics to measure the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility of nanoparticles in solutions. By measuring the power of the third harmonic generated in a diluted solution of nanoparticles, both the size and (3) can be extracted from a simple set of measurements. 2006 Optical Society of America.
