Abstract

The optical nonlinear absorption of the gold nanoparticles protected by C60 derivative was investigated by using open aperture Z scan experiments with nanosecond pulse laser at wavelength of 532 nm. The shift from saturable absorption (SA) to reverse saturable absorption (RSA) was observed with increasing input pump intensities . The SA was ascribed to the bleaching of ground state plasmon band and the RSA was ascribed to excited state absorption of material. T he competition of the two different effects caused the observed switching behavior in gold nanoparticles..
