Giant Two-photon Absorption in Circular Graphene Quantum Dots in Infrared Region
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate theoretically the two-photon absorption (TPA) for circular graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with the edge of armchair and zigzag on the basis of electronic energy states obtained by solving the Dirac-Weyl equation numerically under finite difference method. The expressions for TPA cross section are derived and the transition selection rules are obtained. Results reveal that the TPA is significantly greater in GQDs than conventional semiconductor QDs in infrared spectrum (2-6 um) with a resonant TPA cross section of up to 10(11 )GM. The TPA peaks are tuned by the GQDs' size, edge and electron relaxation rate.

Two-Photon Fluorescence in N-Doped Graphene Quantum Dots
Nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) were fabricated by microwave-assisted hydrothermal technique. The optical properties of the N-GQDs were studied. The luminescence of the N-GQDs can be tuned by varying the excitation wavelength. Furthermore, two-photon luminescence of the N-GQDs excited by near-infrared laser can be obtained. It is shown that N-doping play a key role on two-photon l...

We report the observation of two-photon-enhanced three-photon absorption (3PA) in transition-metal-doped semiconductor quantum dots (d-QDs) in the near-infrared spectral region. Due to the degeneracy between two-photon transitions to the states of metal ions inside the bandgap and three-photon transitions to the excitonic state, the 3PA cross-section is greatly enhanced in comparison with the p...
