Abstract
We have measured the transient change in the optical parameters of VO2 thin films for laser excitation through the first-order phase transition near 68° C. Femtosecond laser excitation at 780 nm from an amplified, passively modelocked Ti:sapphire laser was used in a pulse-probe configuration to excite the VO2 film through the semiconducting to metallic phase transition. The transient reflection and transmission were measured on a femtosecond and picosecond time range by a delayed probe pulse also at 780 nm. We have transformed the raw measurements of dynamic reflection and transmission to complex refractive index using a thin film model.
