Abstract

Nanocomposite materials considered in this work are made of gold nanoparticles randomly spread in a silica matrix. They are characterized by a strong nonlinear optical response, due to the surface plasmon resonance (SPR). When the gold volume fraction increases, electromagnetic interactions and thermal exchanges between nanoparticles are no longer negligible. The experimental study of their influence can be performed using pulsed lasers.We first recall the characteristics of the linear optical response of these materials. Then we expose the numerical model which allows us to calculate their response to a subpicosecond laser excitation. We present the spectrally resolved pump-probe femtosecond setup we developed in order to carry out experim...
