Abstract

We investigate the effect of entering metallic core-shell nanoparticles in Silica glass to increase its nonlinear susceptibility (NLS). Third-order NLS and figure of merit (FOM) relations of this composite are driven with the T-Matrix method. Effect of nanoparticle volume fraction, shell-to-core radius ratio and core, clad and host material in the real and imaginary part of these parameters are studied. It is concluded that doping Silica with Copper core-Gold clad nanoparticles make the compound FOM-enhanced.
