Pulsed Laser Deposition of Nanocomposite Thin Films for Photonic Aplications

Nanocomposite thin films formed by metal or semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) embedded in a host exhibit interesting nonlinear optical properties related to the small size of the NCs (typically around 10 nm or below). These properties make these materials potential candidates for the development of a...
