We report on the observation of the helicity-dependent photoresponse of the 20-μm-thick silver-palladium (Ag/Pd) nanocomposite films. In the experiment, 120 fs pulses of Ti:S laser induced in the film an electric current perpendicular to the incidence plane. The photoinduced current is a linear function of the incident beam power, and its sign depends on the beam polarization and angle of incidence. In particular, the current is zero for the p- and s-polarized beams, while its sign is opposite for the right- and left-circularly polarized beams. By comparing experimental results with theoretical analysis, we show that the photoresponse of the Ag/Pd nanocomposite originates from the photon drag effect.
我们报告了对厚度为20μm的银钯(Ag/Pd)纳米复合薄膜的螺旋度相关光响应的观察结果。在实验中,钛宝石(Ti:S)激光的120飞秒脉冲在薄膜中感应出垂直于入射平面的电流。光致电流是入射光束功率的线性函数,其正负取决于光束偏振和入射角。特别地,对于p偏振和s偏振光束,电流为零,而对于右旋和左旋圆偏振光束,其正负相反。通过将实验结果与理论分析相比较,我们表明Ag/Pd纳米复合材料的光响应源自光子拖曳效应。
