Saturable absorption and reverse saturable absorption play an important role in the studies of the nonlinear optical properties of nanoparticles at resonant excitation. With this viewpoint, nonlinear absorption processes of chemically prepared silver nanoparticles in deionized water were studied using femtosecond laser pulses at 400 nm. Our nonlinear absorption study shows that there is competition between saturable absorption and two-photon absorption in prepared Ag NPs which depends on the size of the nanoparticles. We have also studied the ultrafast dynamics associated with nanoparticles which also results in the direct correlation between the ultrafast timescale and the size of the nanoparticle. The excitation of Ag NPs at 400 nm has shown the manifestation of damped oscillation which is attributed to the radial breathing mode oscillation due to acoustic vibration.
