Abstract

The ultrafast third-order nonlinear optical properties of C₆₀+ vinyltriethoxysilane H₂C=CHSi(OC₂H₅)₃ (C₆₀+VTES) sol-gel were investigated by the femtosecond optical Kerr gate (OKG) technique at 800 nm. The third-order optical susceptibility was measured to be 5.42 × 10−14 esu for C₆₀+VTES at a weight concentration of 0.06 wt.%. Using C₆₀+VTES as the OKG material, we acquired a series of narrow bandwidth and symmetric gated spectra continuously from the chirped white light continuum generated in water with femtosecond laser pulses. The gated spectra obtained using the C₆₀+VTES OKG have distinct superiorities compared with CS₂.
