• Cadmium oxide (CdO) thin films doped with different yttrium (Y) concentrations have been prepared by the cost-effective spin coating technique. The effect of Y doping on structural, morphological, linear, and nonlinear optical properties of the as-prepared CdO thin films is studied. The AFM morphology of the thin films revealed grain size increase with the increase in the percentage of Y doping. From the optical properties, it is found that the films are highly transparent and the optical band gap spreads over the range of 2.3–2.8 eV. The Y doping drastically suppresses the linear and nonlinear optical properties. Highlights Yttrium (Y)-doped CdO nanostructured thin films have been prepared by the cost-effective spin-coating technique. AFM morphology reveals the grain size with increase in percentage of Y doping. Optical band gap spreads over the range of 2.3–2.8 eV while optical properties get suppressed with Y.
