Abstract

Nonlinear refractive index, n₂, values as high as 1±.1x10⁻⁹ cm² /W were measured in atomic layer deposition (ALD) grown TiO₂ nanoscale films, using femtosecond thermally managed Z-scan. The several order of magnitude increase in n₂ is believed due to the incorporation of nitrogen during growth.
