Abstract

We demonstrate a novel technique to fabricate a gelatin film containing Au-nano-particles. The technique is based on silver halide photographic development. We investigated third-order non-linearity of the film by forward-four-wave-mixing technique. Peak absorption appeared at the wavelength of 560nm. Self-diffraction by the use of third order nonlinear grating formed by intense pico-second pulses was observed. Experimental diffraction efficiency was proportional to the square of the pump intensity. Third-order susceptibility ?(3) of the film was estimated to be 1.8 10-7esu.
