In this study, the influence of excitation wavelength and input intensity on the nonlinear absorption (NA) mechanism and optical limiting behavior of the Bi12TiO20 (BTO) single crystal were reported. The energy band gap of the BTO single crystal was obtained to be 2.38 eV. Urbach energy revealed that the single crystal has a highly defective structure. Open aperture (OA) Z-scan experiments were conducted at 532 and 1064 nm excitation wavelengths at various input intensities. Obtained experimental data were analyzed with a theoretical model considering one photon, two-photon and free carrier absorption contributions to NA. The obtained results revealed that the BTO single crystal possesses NA. The NA coefficient increased with increasing input intensity at 532 nm excitation wavelength, while it decreased with increasing input intensity at 1064 nm excitation wavelength. Due to the intense localized defect states distribution at the energy of 532 nm excitation wavelength within the band gap, increasing contribution to NA came from one photon absorption (OPA), sequential two-photon absorption (TPA) and free carrier absorption (FCA) with increasing input intensity. The filling of the defect states at 1064 excitation wavelength caused a reduction in NA due to increasing saturable absorption with increasing input intensity. TPA coefficients were also found from the fitting ignoring the defect states. As expected, the values of the nonlinear absorption coefficient βeff are higher than that of the TPA coefficients for both excitation wavelengths. The optical limiting threshold of the BTO single crystal was obtained to be 6.62 mJ/cm2. The results of the present works indicated that BTO single crystal can be used as a potential optical limiter.

The optical properties of TlGaSeS layered single crystals have been investigated by measuring the transmissions and the reflections in the wavelength region between 400 and 1100 nm. The optical indirect transitions with a band gap energy of 2.27 eV and direct transitions with a band gap energy of 2.58 eV were found by means of the analysis of the absorption data at the room temperature. The rate of change of the indirect band gap with temperature, that is, gamma = -3.2 x 10(-4) eV/K, was determined from the...

Optical properties of the TlGaxIn1-xS2 mixed crystals (0 <= x <= 1) have been studied by means of transmission and reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 400-1100 nm. The optical indirect band gap energies were determined through the analysis of the absorption data. It was found that the energy band gaps increase with increasing of gallium atoms content in the TlGaxIn1-xS2 mixed crystals. From the transmission measurements carried out in the temperature range of 10-300K, the rates of change of t...

Hasanlı, Nızamı (2016-8-01)
Optical properties of GaSe single crystals have been investigated using temperature-dependent transmission and room temperature reflection measurements in the wavelength range of 380–1100 nm. The analysis of the absorption data at room temperature showed the existence of indirect transitions in the crystal with energy band gap of 1.98 eV. Temperature dependence of the transmission measurements revealed the shift of the absorption edge toward lower energy as temperature is increased from 10 to 280 K. The rat...
