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.

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.

Third-harmonic generation in a special asymmetric quantum well is investigated. The third-harmonic generation coefficient is carried out by applying compact-density-matrix method. The numerical results are presented for a GaAs/AlGaAs asymmetric quantum well. The very large third-harmonic generation coefficient is obtained in this quantum well. Moreover, the third-harmonic generation coefficient dependents on the quantum well parameters are investigated, respectively.
