Abstract

Experimental values of the third-order susceptibility of ultra-Thin gold layers are obtained and compared to the values of the third-order susceptibility for bulk gold. The effective enhancement of the third-order nonlinearity depending on the thickness of the gold layers is observed. We discuss possible reason for such enhancement. The two-Temperature model is applied to model the nonlinear response of gold waveguides on different time scales. The third-order nonlinear effects in plasmonic waveguides can be used for future developments of optical communication systems.
