Abstract
The nonlinear absorption of Ti3C2 quantum dots (QDs), Ag nanoparticles and Ti3C2 QDs-Ag nanocomposites were studied
by using nanosecond Z-scan technique. It was found that, Ti3C2 QDs and Ag nanoparticles exhibit saturation absorption
(SA), while the Ti3C2 QDs-Ag nanocomposites can exhibit SA or reverse saturation absorption (RSA) depending laser
intensity. The investigation indicates that adding of Ag nanoparticles can regulate the nonlinear absorption of Ti3C2 QDs,
even make it change from SA to RSA. The origin of nonlinear absorption and transformation was also analyzed and
discussed in terms of plasmon bleaching.
