Abstract

This work is about the contribution of third-order nonlinear optical properties on the nano-mechanical behavior exhibited by multi-wall carbon nanotubes decorated by metal nanoparticles. The samples were explored in thin film form. The inclusion of monometallic Platinum, Gold and Silver in the carbon nanostructures was studied. Changes in mass density of around 1 μg/cm3 in the sample irradiated by light were numerically estimated. A vectorial two-wave mixing experiment was conducted with pulses provided by the second harmonic of a Nd:YAG laser system. The incorporation of metal nanoparticles in the carbon-based samples can provide advantages in opto-mechanic functions, regarding the sharp selective energy transfer that can be controlled by plasmonic phenomena. It is highlighted the potential of the optical Kerr effect for controlling opto-mechanic gate functions derived by changes in mass density in nonlinear optical systems.
