Abstract
Our study of the third-order susceptibility for Ag-dielectric composite reveals a critical role of saturation of optical transitions between discrete states of conduction electrons in metal quantum dots. Saturation effects lead to a decrease of the local field enhancement factor that is of particular importance for surface-enhanced phenomena.
