Since nonlinear optical materials used in the ultrafast all-optical switching is an important part for the modern optical technology, cuprates have been widely investigated for their specific Cu-O chain structure and intriguing optical properties. We present a new preparation method of microcrystalline Sr 2 CuO 3  glass films on glass substrates combining spin-coating and co-sintering techniques. Then, the as-prepared samples were polished for different times to obtain microcrystalline Sr 2 CuO 3  glass films with varying thickness. The influence of polishing time on the structure, the valence state and the nonlinear optical response were discussed, respectively. The purity of the Sr 2 CuO 3  phase, surface morphology and the chemical composites of these synthesized glass films were given with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Importantly, optical absorption spectroscopy and Z-scan technique were used to measure linear absorption and third-order optical nonlinearity of the films. The experiments showed that third-order nonlinear susceptibility of the 140 min polished film sample with a thickness of 18 μm was up to 1.23 × 10 −12  esu, indicating its potential application in the nonlinear field.
