The magnitude and dynamic response of the third-order optical nonlinearity of a 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trihydroxy-phenyl)squaraine was measured by femtosecond degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) technique at 800 nm. Ultrafast optical response has been observed and the magnitude of the second-order hyperpolarizability of the studied squaraine was measured as large as 3.8 ×10-31 esu. The large optical nonlinearities of the squaraine can be attributed to their rigid and intramolecular charge transfer structure, and the instantaneous NLO response of squaraine is mainly contributed from the electron delocalization.

AbstractThird-order optical nonlinearity in organic materials has generally been sought from molecules and polymers having extended i-electron delocalization in conjugated bonding schemes. In an alternative approach, we have investigated the third-order optical response of a polymeric composite containing charge transfer complexes in which the nonlinearity originates from intermolecular electron delocalization between π-electron clouds in charge transfer stacks. The material, which is composed of a polymer having electrondonating pendant side groups that complex with dopant electron-acceptor molecules, has been processed into an optically clear thin film. Nonlinear characterization of the film by means of third-harmonic generation suggests enhancement of the third-order response arising from charge transfer interactions.
