ABSTRACTResults on the nonlinear properties of solutions of Buckminsterfullerene in toluene are reported. Optical limiting thresholds are as low as 15 mJ/cm2 with multiple pulse stability. Evidence for a different mechanism than that applicable in graphitic carbon black suspensions is presented. The calculated second hyperpolarizability agrees with experimentally reported values.

In this work, the photo-physical properties of seven different phthalocyanine derivatives are studied, with a focus on their transparency spectral range. Two compounds among them are recently synthesised. The investigations include synthesis, photoluminescence, absorptive and refractive nonlinear properties, and optical limiting performances. The compounds are found to be emitting interesting broad fluorescence bands in the visible range. The nonlinear optical properties are investigated with the help of Z-scan technique, with both a continuous laser at 488, 514.5 and 632.8 nm, and with a pulsed laser at 532 nm. The sign and the magnitude of the nonlinear refractive index, third-order susceptibility, and nonlinear absorption coefficient have been evaluated in the seven compounds. The optical limiting performance of each compound was also evaluated in the continuous and pulsed laser excitation regimes. Keywords:

Nanodiamonds (NDs) and carbon-dots (CDs) suspensions exhibit significant NLO response under both ps and ns laser excitation. NDs exhibit important optical limiting action under nanosecond visible (532 nm) and infrared (1064 nm) laser excitation.

A family of TeO2-based glasses is known to have high third-order nonlinear properties and expected as nonlinear optical devices. In the present study, we fabricated Ag2O-TeO2 and Ag2O-Nb2O5-TeO2 glasses, and estimated their structures and linear/nonlinear optical properties. The main results showed that the absorption-edge of the glasses was shifted to longer wavelength side with increasing Ag2O content. By Raman spectroscopy, it was found that an increase in Ag2O content promoted to change TeO4 to TeO3/TeO3+1 units. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) revealed the presence of an electronic state of Ag2+ ions, which was supposed to have a large influence on the absorption-edge wavelength. In Ag2O-Nb2O5-TeO2 glass system, the third-order nonlinear susceptibility χ(3) increased with increasing Ag2O content at the expense of Nb2O5 content.

Background: Metallic–dielectric plasmonic nanoparticles have recently aroused great interest in view of many and novel technological applications, based on the interaction between light and matter under intense field conditions, in nonlinear integrated photonics and opto-fluidics, thanks to the possibility of tuning their electronic and optical properties through a fine control of the synthesis parameters and their nanoparticles under a high-power laser, like the one used during z-scan measures. Objective: The goal of this work is the study of nonlinear optical properties (as nonlinear refraction, scattering, two-photon absorption, optical limiting) of colloids synthesized in different liquid media by Pulsed laser ablation in liquids (PLAL), which is a photo-assisted synthesis technique ensuring the formation of stable, contaminant-free colloids directly during the ablation process. Methods: Noble metal nanoparticles, metal oxides hybrid nanostructures and silicon-based nanomaterials, were prepared by nanosecond and picosecond PLAL technique, in different media. The third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties have been studied by the use of a single beam z-scan technique with Q-switched frequency doubled Nd:YAG laser (λ=532 nm) at 5 ns pulse. Results: 1) A good stability of the PLAL nanocolloids under a high laser power; 2) the limiting threshold reduction inducted by the Ag-Au nanoparticles, the increase of the NLO absorption coefficient β, the reduction of the transmittance/scattering signal and the presence of a pronounced asymmetry of the peak/valley profile of the metal decorated metal oxide nanomaterials compared to the separately produced components. Conclusion: An intriguing coupling between the nature of the optical limiting response and the nanostructures rearrangement upon intense field conditions, explaining z-scan data by a classical approach able to account for the nanoparticles asymmetry and plasmonic effects, are the main results found.

The nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of lanthanide bisphthalocyanine (Lu(TBPc)Pc), including first hyperpolarizability, second hyperpolarizability and reverse saturable absorption (RSA), have been investigated. Furthermore, Lu(TBPc)Pc has also been applied for optical switch based on its RSA performance.
