Abstract

Nonlinear, optical thin-films comprising a plurality of island structures of semiconductor ultra-fine particles and a plurality of continuous films of an optically transparent material, said island structures and said continuous films being applied alternately on a substrate. A method for manufacturing nonlinear, optical thin-films comprising the steps of: (a) providing a substrate; (b) depositing an island structure of semiconductor ultra-fine particles on the substrate or a continuous film; and (c) depositing the continuous film of optically transparent substance on the island structure; (d) the steps (b) and (c) of depositing an island structure and the continuous film being performed alternately.
