Abstract

The huge non-linear optical response have been observed for the silicon nanocrystals monolayer on the silver surface in the normal back scattering configuration. The competition of non-linear saturation and absorption was observed. The value of the non-linear optical absorption coefficient is coming to the 2 X 10(superscript -3) cm/W. The structure of the monolayer was tested by atomic force microscope and average thickness have been estimated on the basis of the surface plasma waves resonance in Kretschmann configuration. It was observed the enhancing of non-linear susceptibility by effect of the surface of noble metal.
