| contents | Two-dimensional tsumoite (BiTe), a polymorph of Bi2Te3, has emerged as a promising candidate for nonlinear photonic devices owing to its strong spin-orbit coupling, tunable bandgap, and high carrier mobility characteristics. This work presents a thorough examination of the third-order nonlinear optical response of BiTe dispersions using spatial self-phase modulation (SSPM) spectroscopy. The nonlinear refractive index (n2) and third-order nonlinear susceptibility are quantitatively derived from the diffraction ring patterns, demonstrating third-order nonlinear susceptibility values, similar to or surpassing those of advanced 2D materials. The temporal development and distortion of the SSPM rings are examined using the wind-chime model, and thermal factors influencing the SSPM pattern are analyzed. First-principles electronic band structure studies reveal that the elevated nonlinear susceptibility arises from band dispersion. Direct correlation between carrier transport and third-order nonlinear susceptibility is established. Utilizing these qualities, all photonic devices, including a photonic isolator based on a 2D BiTe-2D hBN heterostructure, are depicted to show asymmetric propagation. A photonic information converter and a logic gate are designed using the cross-phase modulation technique. These findings establish 2D BiTe nanostructure as a formidable nonlinear optical platform for advanced photonic signal processing and integrated photonic applications. |
