AbstractMixed metal clusters (n-Bu4N)2[MoCu3OS3X3] (X = SCN, Cl and Br) were synthesized by solid state reactions. X-ray single crystal diffraction data show that the anionic clusters assume nest shaped structures. The clusters exhibit large self-defocusing effect as demonstrated by their Z-scan traces. The effective third-order polarizability of |γ| = 4.8 × 10−29 esu was determined for (n-Bu4N)2[MoCu3OS3(SCN)3] by a degenerate four-wave mixing technique with 7-ns laser pulses of 532 nm wavelength. An irradiance-dependent transmission measurement was conducted to assess the contribution of nonlinear absorption to the γ-value. These results in combination with the self-defocusing property of the cluster yielded a negative value for the real part of γ, Reγ = − 4.8 × 10−29 esu. These numerical values are in good agreement with those obtained in a Z-scan experiment. Even though the clusters absorb laser light at 532 nm significantly, the results of temporal profile analysis on transmitted pulses show that the solvent thermal effect makes little contribution to the observed nonlinear optical phenomenon.

AbstractCompounds WCu2OS3(PPh3)4 (I) and MoCu2OS3(PPh3)3 (II) were synthesized by reactions of (NH4)2MO2S2 (M = W, Mo), Cu2S and PPh3 in solid state for nonlinear optical studies. A wide transparent window (λ = 400 - 1000 nm) was observed for both clusters, which makes them attractive for nonlinear optical (NLO) applications. NLO properties of the clusters were studied with a 7-ns pulsed laser at 532 nm. Cluster I exhibits mainly optical self-focusing (n2 = 8 × 10-18 m2 W-1, as measured with an 1.2 × 10-4 M acetonitrile solution) with negligibly small nonlinear absorption. Cluster II exhibits both optical self-focusing (n2 = 5 × 10-17 m2 W-1, as measured with a 7.4 × 10-5 M acetonitrile solution) and nonlinear absorption (α2 = 2.6 × 10-10 m W-1). The third-order NLO susceptibilities (χ(3)) of the two clusters at the above-mentioned concentrations are 2 × 10-11 esu for I and 1.2 × 10-10 esu for II respectively. These nonlinear optical properties of the clusters were compared with those of cubic cage shaped and nest shaped clusters to reveal a qualitative structure/NLO property correlation.

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.

Zinc phthalocyanine possessing triphenylamine at its peripheral position has been synthesized and its optical, emission, electrochemical and third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties were investigated. Soret band was broadened due to the presence of triphenylamine moiety. Electrochemical properties indicated that both oxidation and reduction processes were ring centered. Emission spectra were recorded in different solvents and the fluorescence yields obtained were in the range of 0.02–0.17 while the time-resolved fluorescence data revealed radiative lifetimes of typically few ns. Third-order NLO properties of this molecule have been examined using the Z-scan technique with picosecond (ps) and femtoseocnd (fs) pulses. Closed and open aperture Z-scan data were recorded with 2 ps/1 50 fs laser pulses at a wavelength of 800 nm and NLO coefficients were extracted from both the data. Our data clearly suggests the potential of this molecule for photonics applications.

The D4σ-Z-scan technique is used to evaluate the sign and the magnitude of the nonlinear (NL) refractive index and the NL absorption (NLA) coefficient with a laser delivering single pulses in the picosecond regime at 355 nm, 532 nm and 1064 nm. The NL optical response of the zinc porphyrins (Pph) has been found to be significantly enhanced. The study of the NLA and refraction is performed, taking into account the time dependence and the spectral width of the incident laser. The variations of the NL coefficients as a function of the intensity and the concentration are provided and are found to be linear.

An inserted type Ag/TeO2-SiO2composite gel glass was prepared through silver nanoparticles embedded in TeO2-SiO2composite gel. The silver nanoparticles were prepared previously by ascorbic acid deoxygenates AgNO3solution and mixed into TeO2-SiO2composite sol which was prepared in aqueous system using TeO2and tetraethoxysilane as precursors, and then the inserted type Ag/TeO2-SiO2composite gel glass was produced through sol aging and molding. The silver nanoparticles which dispersed in the TeO2-SiO2gel substrate made the composite glass having excellent nonlinear optical properties. The nonlinear optical parameters was tested by Z-scan technique using 15 ps laser pulses at the wavelength of 532 nm. The surface morphology was characterized by SEM. The results identified that spherical Ag nanoparticles with the size about 50-100 nm dispersed in the TeO2-SiO2gel. In the Ag/TeO2-SiO2material, the doped structure and the trigonal bipyramid structure of TeO2was the important factor for the excellent nonlinear optical performance.

The results of recent studies on the optical limiting properties of BODIPY dyes at 532 and 1064 nm are described and compared. The optical limiting properties of novel 1,7-dimethyl-3,5-di-4-dihydroxyborylstyryl- and 3,5,7-tristyryl-1-methyl-BODIPY dyes were studied in CH2Cl2 and C6H6 and polystyrene thin films using the open aperture Z-scan technique at 532 nm with nanosecond laser pulses to provide an example of how the effective nonlinear absorption coefficient, the third order susceptibility, hyperpolarizability and limiting thresholds can be calculated.

In this paper we have retrieved the nonlinear-index coefficient based on the self-phase modulation which is resulted from a high-power laser pulses propagating in a third-order nonlinear optical material. Using the finite-difference time-domain method, the spectrum analyses have been performed with the optical pulses with different peak-powers propagating through the nonlinear optical materials with different lengths. The nonlinear-index coefficients were obtained by using the numbers of the spectrum peaks, and how to improve the accuracy has been discussed.
