  • In situ reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer polymerization for SQDs-PVK synthesis.
  • Embedding SQDs-PVK into a PMMA matrix to form films.

Main Results:

  • SQDs with an average diameter of 3.22 nm were successfully prepared.
  • Annealed SQDs-PVK/PMMA films demonstrated significant nonlinear optical performance.
  • High nonlinear absorption coefficients (713.71 cm GW⁻¹ at 532 nm, 913.60 cm GW⁻¹ at 1064 nm) were observed.
  • Low limiting thresholds (1.44 J cm⁻² at 532 nm, 1.08 J cm⁻² at 1064 nm) were achieved.

Conclusions:

  • SQDs-PVK/PMMA films exhibit promising broadband optical limiting capabilities.
  • These materials are suitable for optical limiter applications in both near-infrared and visible ranges.
  • The developed functionalized SQDs represent a significant advancement in materials for photonic devices.
