Samples of the PC/ZnS-NiO NC films are exposed to numerous laser fluences (4 – 30 J/cm<sup>2</sup>).

Upon raising the fluence up to 30 J/cm<sup>2</sup>, both the indirect and direct band gaps reduce. The Urbach energy exhibits a reverse trend. This can be attributable to the domination of chain crosslinks. Also, we detect the nature of microelectronic transitions, using the optical dielectric loss <i>εʺ</i> and find that the PC/ZnS-NiO NC films possess direct allowed transitions.
