Abstract
Homogeneous transparent optical glass-ceramics precipitated with unique nonlinear crystals are promising materials for photonic applications. We have utilized heat treatment method to prepare transparent ZnO-Bi2O3-B2O3 glass-ceramic containing Bi2ZnB2O7 nonlinear nanocrystals. A large third-order nonlinear susceptibility χ(3) of glass-ceramic is measured by Z-scan technique, which mainly attributed to unique [BiO6] and [B2O5] units in Bi2ZnB2O7 crystal structure and the quantum size effect of nanoparticles. The discovery is of great potential in the application of nonlinear optical integrated devices.
