Overview

Investigation reveals increased optical nonlinearity with reduced thickness in ITO films, indicating material modulation potential.

Key Points

  • The third-order optical nonlinearity increases as the thickness of indium tin oxide films decreases, highlighting a significant relationship.
  • Nonlinear refractive index and absorption coefficient of 20 nm-thick ITO films are around ten times larger than those of 200 nm-thick films.
  • The orbital theory explains changes in optical nonlinearity due to variations in In-O bond lengths as film thickness changes.
  • Understanding these nonlinear properties could facilitate better modulation of optical characteristics in ITO applications.
