ABSTRACTRecently, there has been much interest in doped polymeric materials owing to their suitability for optical device applications.[1] While most of this effort has been centered on poled polymers and their applications to electrooptics, doped polymers are beginning to emerge as a promising material class for all-optical device applications. In this contribution, we discuss the status of doped polymers as third-order optical materials. Particular attention is focused on those properties that make doped polymers attractive as device materials such as optical nonlinearity and loss and their suitability for nonlinear-optical fiber devices.

ABSTRACTElectroactive polymers such as poly [p-phenylene vinylene] (PPV) and poly [2,5-thienylene vinylene] (PTV) have been shown to yield highly conductive materials upon oxidative doping,1 and to display enhanced third order nonlinear optical response.2 Optical absorption spectra for either neutral or doped polymers, however, are quite broad, extending well into the visible for the neutral polymer and into the near infrared (NIR) for the doped polymers, with little evident fine structure. For certain nonlinear optical (NLO) applications, this can lead to undesirable absorption losses and resonance phenomena. We would like to describe how copolymers incorporating oligomeric dithienylpolyene segments may be designed so as to give some degree of control over the polymer absorption characteristics in either neutral or oxidized form.

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.

It is significant to study the reason that semiconductor material has adjustable third-order optical nonlinearity through crystal form and dimensions are changed. αMnS nanoparticles with different crystal forms and sizes were successfully prepared by one-step hydrothermal synthesis method and their size-limited third-order nonlinear optical property was tested by Z-scan technique with 30 ps laser pulses at 532 nm wavelength. Nanoparticles of different crystal forms exhibited different NLO (nonlinear optical) responses. γMnS had stronger NLO response than αMnS because of higher fluorescence quantum yield. Two-photon absorption and the nonlinear refraction are enhanced as size of nanoparticlesreduced. The nanoparticles had maximum NLO susceptibility which was 3.09 × 10−12 esu. Susceptibility of αMnS increased about nine times than that of largest nanoparticles. However, it was reduced when size was further decreased. This trend was explained by the effects of light induced dipole moments. And defects in αMnS nanoparticles also had effect on this nonlinear process. MnS nanoparticles had potential application value in optical limiting and optical modulation.
