Abstract
By using femtosecond laser pulses at a wavelength range from 720 to 780 nm, we have observed absorptive and refractive nonlinearities in a film of multi-walled carbon nanotubes grown mainly along the direction perpendicular to the surface of quartz substrate. The Z-scans show that both absorptive and refractive nonlinearities are of negative and cubic nature in the laser irradiance range from a few to 300 GW/cm2. The magnitude of the third-order nonlinear susceptibility,chi-(3), is of an order of 10-11 esu. The degenerate pump-probe measurement reveals a relaxation time of 2 ps.
