Nonlinear absorption of vanadium carbide/silver nanoparticle composites

In recent years, MXene materials have found great applications in fields such as photonics and nonlinear optics due to their special physical properties. Here, the non-linear absorption properties of vanadium carbide/silver (V₂C/Ag) nanoparticle composites at different wavelengths (450-600 nm) are investigated using Z-scan techniques. Experimental and computational results show that the material has strong saturable absorption (SA) properties, and the SA intensity increases with decreasing wavelength. This research provides new applicable materials for laser technology.
