Linear and nonlinear optical properties in oxide and chalcogenide glasses have been studied comparatively. Applying a semiconductor concept to these glasses, we show that maximal nonlinear refractive-index at optical communication wavelengths is ∼10−4 cm2/GW, which can be obtained in materials with bandgap energy of ∼1.6 eV. It is also shown for SiO2 and As2S3 that linear and nonlinear optical excitations induce different photostructural changes, which are attributable to different photo-electronic transition probabilities.
Nonlinear optical properties of Se-loaded ZSM-5 single crystals have been studied comparatively with those of glassy Se. Two-photon absorption coefficients and intensity-dependent refractive-index of the Se-zeolite are higher by three orders of magnitude than those of glassy Se. The enhancements can be ascribed to electron confinement in single Se chains. © 2009 American Institute of Physics.
Photoinduced phenomena in Se-loaded ZSM-5 single crystals have been studied through electron-spin resonance, optical absorption, and photoluminescence spectroscopy. Marked exposure effects appear at room temperature. Upon illumination of visible light, an electron-spin signal at g [approximate to] 2.00 increases by an order, subgap absorption of 10^3 cm^[-1] appears, and photoluminescence at subgap regions weakens to a half. Timescales of these photoinduced changes including recoveries are not the same, which suggests different origins for the three changes. The spin increase evinces bond scission in single Se chains. © 2009 American Institute of Physics

Atomic structures of Se clusters impregnated into ZSM-5 single crystals have been investigated through structural and optical experiments. Raman-scattering spectroscopy suggests that Se in the zeolite takes single chain structures. X-ray diffraction implies that the chains form fourfold (not threefold as in trigonal Se) helices. The chain length is estimated from weight and electron-spin resonance measurements at 10^2 atoms. The material shows an optical absorption edge at hω [similar or equal to] 2.2 eV, which accompanies dichroism, suggesting chain alignment in the zeolite pores. © 2009 American Institute of Physics.

Sulfur, selenium, and tellurium were loaded into sub-mm size ZSM-5 single crystals and the optical properties have been comparatively studied. S and Te show similar features, while Se is unique. S and Te have optical absorption edges at wavelengths of ~400 nm with transmission dips at ~450 nm, while Se has the edge at ~550 nm. The three materials provide photoluminescence at visible wavelengths, with intensities of S and Te being stronger than that of Se by two orders. These optical properties imply that S and Te in the zeolite form small atomic units such as S3 and Te2, while Se condenses into single-chain structures.
