A novel naphthalocyanine 2,11,20,29-tetrabromo-2,3-naphthalocyanine iron was synthetized. Its optical nonlinearity was investigated using the Z-scan technique. Reverse saturable absorption and high-order optical nonlinear refraction were detected. The absorption cross sections of the ground state, the singlet first excited state and the triplet first excited state were fitted to be 3.2 × 10[Formula: see text] cm[Formula: see text], 6.2 × 10[Formula: see text] cm[Formula: see text] and 4.6 × 10[Formula: see text] cm[Formula: see text], respectively. Fits also gave 1.17 × 10[Formula: see text] cm[Formula: see text] for the refractive volume of the ground state, 0.6 for the ratio of the refractive volume of the singlet first excited state to the ground state and 2.7 for the ratio of refractive volume of the first triplet excited state to the ground state.

Free Carrier Absorption

Graphene/MoS2/Ag thin films were successfully prepared by the magnetron sputtering technique and liquid phase exfoliation. Structure, morphology, optical properties, and nonlinear optical characteristics of the graphene/MoS2/Ag and graphene/MoS2 thin films were studied by X-ray diffractometer, spectrophotometer, field-scanning electron microscope, and femtosecond (fs) Z-scan technique. The results of the fs Z-scan experiment indicate that the graphene/MoS2/Ag thin films exhibit reverse saturable absorption properties due to the free carrier absorption and two-photon absorption. More importantly, with the increase of DC magnetron sputtering power (from 5 to 15 W), the local surface plasmon resonance effect of the Ag thin films increases, which leads to the enhancement of nonlinear optical properties of the graphene/MoS2/Ag thin films. The nonlinear absorption coefficients of the graphene/MoS2/Ag thin films are increased from 1.14 × 10–10 to 1.8 × 10–10 m/W at 800 nm and from 4.79 × 10–11 to 6.79 × 10–11 m/W at 1,030 nm, and the nonlinear refraction index of the graphene/MoS2/Ag thin films is -4.37 × 10–17∼−4.18 × 10–16 m2/W under the excitation of 800 and 1,030 nm, respectively. Moreover, when the graphene/MoS2/Ag thin films were excited at 800 and 1,030 nm, respectively, the nonlinear figure of merit values of the graphene/MoS2/Ag thin films are increased from 1.23 to 2.91 and from 1.30 to 1.47, which are enough to support the application of the graphene/MoS2/Ag thin films in the field of all-optical switching applications.

The nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of P3HT in orthodichlorobenzene were investigated at 532[Formula: see text]nm by Z-scan technique in the nanosecond domain. The nonlinear refraction of P3HT solution is up to an order of 10[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]esu and changes the sign from positive to negative with an increase in the input intensity. The reverse saturable absorption of the P3HT solution was observed in the intensity range of the measurements and their nonlinear absorption coefficient reaches an order of 102[Formula: see text]cm/GW. The strong optical nonlinearity perhaps allows them to be widely applied in the photoelectric field.

InP@ZnS core-shell colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) were synthesized and characterized using the z-scan technique. The nonlinear refraction and nonlinear absorption coefficients (γ = −2 × 10−12 cm2 W−1, β = 4 × 10−8 cm W−1) of these CQDs were determined using 10 ns, 532 nm pulses. The saturable absorption (β = −1.4 × 10−9 cm W−1, Isat = 3.7 × 108 W cm−2) in the 3.5 nm CQDs dominated at small intensities of the probe pulses (I ≤ 7 × 107 W cm−2) followed by reverse saturable absorption at higher laser intensities. We report the optical limiting studies using these CQDs showing the suppression of propagated nanosecond radiation in the intensity range of 8 × 107–2 × 109 W cm−2. The role of nonlinear scattering is considered using off-axis z-scan scheme, which demonstrated the insignificant role of this process along the whole range of used intensities of 532 nm pulses. We discuss the thermal nature of the negative nonlinear refraction in the studied species.

In the present work, we report the results of thermally induced third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of 2,4,5-trimethoxy-4[Formula: see text]-nitrochalcone (abbreviated as 2,4,5TMNC) investigated by [Formula: see text]-scan technique using continuous wave (CW) Argon ion laser at a wavelength of 488[Formula: see text]nm with adjusted power ranging from 2.5[Formula: see text]mW to 20[Formula: see text]mW. The experiments were performed by varying the concentration of the molecules in solution. The sample demonstrated strong reverse saturable absorption (RSA) and self-defocusing effect (negative nonlinear refractive index). The estimated values of the NLO absorption coefficient ([Formula: see text], nonlinear refraction ([Formula: see text] and absolute nonlinear susceptibility [Formula: see text] are found to be of the order of 10[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m/W, 10[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m2/W and 10[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]esu, respectively. The magnitude of the nonlinear absorption coefficient ([Formula: see text] was found to increase with concentration. The linear absorption spectrum of 2,4,5TMNC was measured using UV–Vis–NIR spectrometer. The optical band gap (Eg) value of title chalcone is obtained from the tauc’s plot of ([Formula: see text] versus [Formula: see text]. The optical limiting performance of 2,4,5TMNC is also investigated for device application. In addition to the above, the computation studies are also carried out to attain the ground state molecular geometry which is found in close to experimental results. Time-Dependent- Density Function Theory (TD-DFT) was used to determine the UV–Vis spectrum at B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory and found to be comparable with experimental data. The HOMO–LUMO energy gap was also determined and discussed. The results promote this chalcone derivative as a promising candidate for optical limiting and optical switching applications.

Abstract Bismuth telluride nanoparticles (NPs) attract attention due to the growth of sensitivity of the Bi2Te3 NPs-containing registrars in the near- and mid-infrared ranges. We describe the synthesis and characterization of these structures and analyze the low-order nonlinear optical properties of the colloidal suspensions and thin films containing Bi2Te3 NPs using 1064 and 532 nm, 10 ns pulses. Colloidal Bi2Te3 NPs demonstrate saturable absorption and positive nonlinear refraction (saturation intensity 7 × 108 W cm−2, nonlinear absorption coefficient β SA = −7 × 10−8 cm W−1, nonlinear refractive index γ = 9 × 10−12 cm2 W−1), while at stronger excitation by 532 nm, 10 ns pulses the reverse saturable absorption dominates over other nonlinear optical processes. We achieved significant growth of the nonlinear optical parameters of the thin films containing these NPs (film thickness l = 60 nm, β SA = −1.2 × 10−4 cm W−1, γ = 5 × 10−7 cm2 W−1 in the case of 532 nm probe radiation and β = −5 × 10−5 cm W−1, γ = 6 × 10−8 cm2 W−1 in the case of 1064 nm probe radiation) compared with colloidal Bi2Te3 NPs and discuss the observed peculiarities of the nonlinear response of Bi2Te3 nanostructures.

The strong nonlinear optical behavior of low-dimensional materials, such as quantum dots and core-shell quantum dots, has been a topic of intense research in recent years. As quantum dots have tunable emission via changes in their sizes, they are potentially useful in photo-electronics, photovoltaic nonlinear optics, light-emitting diode fabrication, and laser protections. Variation among core and shell shape and size, along with the chemical composition of quantum dots, define their enhanced nonlinear optical properties. Some specific nonlinear optical properties, such as nonlinear refraction, optical limiting, saturable absorption, reverse saturable absorption of CdTe and CdSe quantum dots (QDs), as well as core-shell QDs and their applications, were assessed in this paper.
