N films was studied by employing conventional femto-second Z-scan measurements. In the Z-scan
GaN films exhibit typical two-photon absorption property and with a two-photon absorption coefficient of 3.5 cm/GW. Simultaneously
the two-photon absorption coefficient decreases with the increase of the excitation intensity. GaN films possess excellent nonlinear optical property which is dominated by two-or multi-photon absorption. The Z-scan measurement was further used for Al

N films closely dependent on the mole fraction of Al element. The two-photon absorption coefficient decreases from 18 cm/GW to 5.6 cm/GW with the increase of Al mole fraction from 0 to 0.42. Considering the conventional semiconductor nonlinear absorption theory
it is believed that the observed nonlinear absorption originates from the two-photon absorption dominant nonlinear response. The experimental results are in good agreement with the Sheik-Bahae theoretical prediction for two-photon absorption coefficient.
