Enhancing optical re-orientation effect using external electric field in aluminum-doped zinc oxide nanocolloids

We propose a novel optical effect that involves switching the nonlinear refractive index of colloids and solutions by applying an external field. The third-order nonlinear optical properties of the colloidal aluminum-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles were studied using the z-scan technique by ...
