Abstract
The nonlinear optical properties of emerging metal halide perovskites (MHP) materials are sufficiently intriguing that this topic has become the hotspots in the realm of material science. Hence, we investigate the third-order nonlinear optical properties of CsPbBr x /I 3- x ( x = 1, 2, 3) MHP nano-crystals (NCs) embedded chalcogenide glass (ChG) within a GeS 2 -Sb 2 S 3 pseudo-binary system, by monitoring the composition, excitation wavelength and intensity dependencies via femtosecond Z-scan technique. We have found that the intrinsic large optical nonlinearity of ChG can be further enhanced because of the incorporation of MHP NCs, and that the optical nonlinearity of MHP-ChG containing pristine Br NCs is more pronounced compared to its counterparts with mixed Br/I NCs, due to a combination of multiple factors.
