Two-dimensional tin sulfide (SnS), as a black phosphorus-analogue binary semiconductor, has received considerable attention in photonics and optoelectronics. Herein, the third-order nonlinearity susceptibility
χ
is enhanced from −(6.88 ± 0.10) × 10
esu to −(15.90 ± 0.27) × 10
esu by the size-related quantum confinement in layered SnS nanosheets. Due to the energy level alignment, a phonon-bottleneck effect is observed, which leads to a prolonged carrier lifetime. These results provide a platform for actively tuning the linear and nonlinear optics, and pave the way for designing SnS-based tunable and anisotropic optoelectronic devices.
