We report the synthesis and luminescent properties of carbon dots whose peak fluorescence emission are independent of excitation wavelength. Meanwhile, varying the concentrations of carbon dots can achieve a shift in the emission wavelength. Detailed structural characterization and optical properties of carbon dots with different concentrations were studied. Particularly, the blue-shifted excitation-independent emission peaks were observed when the concentration of carbon dots decreased. The decreased fluorescent properties were considered to originate from the surface modification of carbon dots. Additionally, we investigated the third-order nonlinear optical responses of carbon dots with different concentrations by Z-scan technique with single 190 fs laser pulses at 532 nm. It was found that both samples exhibited positive nonlinear refractivity and negative nonlinear absorption coefficient in the fs regime. These tunable optical properties would provide more possibilities for the utility of carbon dots in optical devices. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
