Abstract:
The quadratic electro-optic effect (Kerr coefficients) is measured for metal nanoparticles within a transparent dielectric medium. In particular, gold nanoparticles in glass are studied. Measurements are made using a field-induced birefringence method. The magnitudes of the Kerr coefficients for different sizes of gold nanoparticles in glass are measured. The magnitudes significantly increase for smaller sizes of nanoparticles. These results imply a broad range of applications of metal nanoparticles in dielectric media, such as glass, in ultrafast (up to 100 GHZ or more) electro-optic modulation/switching, low-cost Kerr cells and other uses in optoelectronics. These results may be extended to various metal nanoparticles within various other transparent dielectric media such as polymers/plastics and ceramics, as well as in glass.

Claim (Index 6):
The method of  claim 4 , wherein the birefringence is performed with a Helium Neon laser.
