Abstract

In this research, graphene oxide was prepared by Hamers' improved method, then, with the electric arc method, silver nanoparticles enter the graphene oxide environment diluted with deionized water, and a colloid of core-shell,silver-silver oxide is prepared. After the samples were prepared, graphene oxide plates containing silver nanoparticles were fixed on them, and samples with the same concentration and volume were placed under ultraviolet radiation for 0, 30, 60, 120, and 240 minutes, respectively. Then, various spectra are prepared from the samples and their linear and non-linear behavior is studied in two experiments, Z-scan and phase spatial modulation. The results of ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, infrared Fourier transform, and X-ray diffraction show that the resulting solution contains graphene oxide nanoplates and silver oxide nanoparticles. Investigating the nonlinear optical properties of the samples also shows that the nonlinear refractive index of the samples is of the order of , which by ultraviolet radiation to the samples, their nonlinear refractive index changes slightly, and on the other hand, the diffraction pattern with two peaks is observed in the formed structure.
