Irradiance dependence of excitonic nonlinear absorption in cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanocrystals has been studied by using Z-scan method with nanosecond laser pulses. The wavelength dependence of nonlinear absorption has also been measured near the excitonic transition of 1S(e)-1S(3/2)(h). We observe the saturable absorption, which can be described by a third-order and a fifth-order nonlinear process for both 3.0-nm-sized and 2.3-nm-sized CdS nanocrystals. The experimental results show that the excitonic nonlinear absorption of CdS nanocrystals is greatly enhanced with decreasing particle size. A two-level model is utilized to explain both irradiance and wavelength dependence of the excitonic nonlinearity. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
