Abstract

Throughout this research, the impact of Manganese doping on the optical characteristics of ZnO nanolayers was explained. The sol-gel spin coating technique has significant advantages due to the mixing of components on the atomic scale and provides excellent control over the composition that was employed to produce samples. The optical characteristics of Mn: ZnO nanolayers, were determined with the help of UV-VIS-NIR spectroscopy. The linear and nonlinear optical properties of nanolayers were investigated between 300 and 800 nm wavelengths. The dispersion properties of the samples were determined and interpreted in accordance with the single-oscillator model. The third-order nonlinear optical characteristics indicate a good correlation between theoretical and experimental results. These interesting results obtained by Mn-doping of ZnO showed a significant behavior for technological applications in electronic, optoelectronic devices and nonlinear optical applications.
