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.

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.

The third-order optical nonlinearities of three planar transition metal ( Ni, Cu and Pd ) compounds with rigid quadridentate Schiff base derived from S-benzyl dithiocarbazate, were investigated systematically by Z-scan technique with picosecond laser pulses at 1064 nm. The three compounds exhibit both strong two-photon absorption and effective self-focusing performance. Due to the heavy atom effect, the second hyperpolarizability of PdZ molecule (〈γ〉 = 1.2 × 10-29 esu) was found to be the highest compared to that of the other two molecules. The optical limiting properties were also measured, and the results suggest that PdZ may be a promising candidate for the application to optical limiting in the near-infrared region.
