ABSTRACTNonlinear optical properties of two thiophene-based conjugated polymers (PTT and PDTB) were studied by the photoinduced absorption spectroscopy and the third harmonic generation spectroscopy. The results obtained with these two methods are used to estimate the value of χ(3) in these materials. Resonant χ(3) are (2.0 ± 0.2) × 10−11 e.s.u. and (1.0 ± 0.1) × 10−11 e.s.u. for PTT and PDTB, respectively. χ(3) is shown to be related to the width of the optical gap through a sixth-power law. In PTT a vibronic structure due to the C = C stretching mode appears in the χ(3) spectrum.

Interests in the use of borate crystals in ultraviolet nonlinear optics have increased because all-solid-state UV lasers obtained with NLO crystals are in highly demand for scientific and industrial applications. Recently, new borate crystals, CsLiB 6 O 10 and Gd x Y 1-x Ca 4 O ( BO 3)3 have been developed by the present authors. CsLiB 6 O 10 is for fourth- and fifth-harmonic generations of Nd:YAG laser, Gd x Y 1-x Ca 4 O ( BO 3)3 for third-harmonic generation. This paper reviews the growth and nonlinear optical properties of these new borate crystals and the progress in UV light generation.

ABSTRACTThe third order nonlinear optical properties of thin films of polybenzimidazobenzophenanthroline ladder (BBL) and semi–ladder (BBB) polymers and their model compound cis–BBB were investigated by picosecond, third harmonic generation. The χ(3) (−3ω, ω ω, ω) spectrum of BBL, BBB, and cis-BBB was obtained in the wavelength range 1.0–2.4µm and shown to exhibit a three–photon peak at respectively 1.695, 1.695, and 1.50 µm. The magnitude of the three–photon enhanced χ(3) was 6.40×10−11, 3.15×10−11, and 0.77×10−11 esu, respectively, for BBL, BBB, and cis–BBB. The results show that the χ(3) of BBL and BBB is enhanced by a factor of 50 and 17, respectively, relative to the model compound cis–BBB at 1.05µm.

The ultrafast third-order optical nonlinearity of c-plane GaN crystal, excited by ultrashort (fs) high-repetition-rate laser pulses at 1550 nm, wavelength important for optical communications, is investigated for the first time by optical third-harmonic generation in non-phase-matching conditions. As the thermo-optic effect that can arise in the sample by cumulative thermal effects induced by high-repetition-rate laser pulses cannot be responsible for the third-harmonic generation, the ultrafast nonlinear optical effect of solely electronic origin is the only one involved in this process. The third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility of GaN crystal responsible for the third-harmonic generation process, an important indicative parameter for the potential use of this material in ultrafast photonic functionalities, is determined.
