Abstract

We demonstrate high conversion efficiency towards the third harmonic (TH) of the 900–1700 nm, 150 fs laser in the thin (40–120 nm) films containing quantum dots (HgTe, HgSe, and PbS) and exfoliated nanoparticles (Bi2Te3) deposited on the glass substrates. The ratio of TH conversion efficiencies in the films and glasses of the same thickness was estimated to be > 104. The intensity, polarization, and spectral dependencies of this process in thin films are reported. We discuss the relation between the TH process and the low-order nonlinear optical properties of these quantum dots and nanoparticles.
