Abstract

PbS nanorods were synthesized by surfactant-assisted homogenous hydrolysis. The products were characterized by UV-vis spectrophotometer, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). PbS nanorods were measured by the Z-scan technique to investigate the third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties. The result of the NLO measurements shows that the PbS nanorods have the third-order nonlinear optical properties of both NLO absorption and NLO refraction with self-focusing effects. The nonlinear absorption coefficient and refractive index of the PbS nanorods are 2.16 × 10- 9 m/W and 3.52 × 10- 16 m2/W respectively.
