Abstract

In the present work, we report optical and nonlinear optical properties of Ag - Polyvinyl alcohol polymer films prepared through a chemical method. Optical absorption measurements show the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) around 410 nm. The SPR intensity increases with annealing temperature. Open aperture z-scan measurements done using 100 femtosecond laser pulses at 400 nm show an intensity dependent nonlinear light transmission behavior.
