Delayed optical nonlinearity of thin metal films
Abstract
Metals typically have very large nonlinear susceptibilities, whose origin is mainly of thermal character. We model the cubic nonlinearity of thin metal films by means of a delayed response derived ab initio from an improved version of the classic two temperature model. We validate our model by comparison with ultrafast pump-probe experiments on gold films.
