Notes:
Metal nanocomposite thin films formed by Cu nanocrystals embedded in an amorphous Al2O3 host have been synthesized by pulsed laser deposition. The mean nanocrystal diameter d was varied in the range 3.0±0.6 to 6±1 nm. The linear and nonlinear optical properties of the films were studied in the vicinity of the surface plasmon resonance and the size dependence of the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility of the metal nanocrystals has been determined. The observed dependence (1/d3) indicates that in the studied diameter interval, the nonlinear response is due to quantum confinement effects in which the major contribution is associated with electronic intraband transitions. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
