Ultrafast nonlinear optical response in solution dispersions of black phosphorus

Ultrafast nonlinear optical response in solution dispersions of black phosphorus

Abstract We report the spatial self-phase modulation (SSPM) effect for solution dispersions of black phosphorus (BP). The experimental results suggest that this concentration-dependent coherent light diffraction is due to the ultrafast and large third-order optical nonlinearity of BP. The third-orde...
