The Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectra indicate that anthracenyl chalcones (ACs) have high maximum wavelengths and good transparency windows for optical applications and are suitable for optoelectronic applications owing to their HOMO–LUMO energy gaps (2.93 and 2.76 eV). Different donor substituents on the AC affect their dipole moments and nonlinear optical (NLO) responses. The positive, negative, and neutral electrostatic potential regions of the molecules were identified using molecular electrostatic potential (MEP). The stability of the molecule on account of hyperconjugative interactions and accompanying charge delocalization was analyzed using natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. Open and closed aperture Z-scans were performed using a continuous-wave frequency-doubled diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) laser to measure the nonlinear absorption and nonlinear refractive index coefficients, respectively. The valley-to-peak profile of AC indicated a negative nonlinear refractive index coefficient. The obtained single crystals possess reverse saturation absorption due to excited-state absorption. The structural and nonlinear optical properties of the molecules have been discussed, along with the role of anthracene substitution for enhancing the nonlinear optical properties. The calculated third-order susceptibility value was 1.10 x10-4 esu at an intensity of 4.1 kW/cm2, higher than the reported values for related chalcone derivatives. The NLO response for both ACs offers excellent potential in optical switching and limiting applications.

Abstract Three chlorinated theinyl chalcone derivatives, namely (E)-1-(5-chlorothiophen-2-yl)-3-(4-(methylthio)phenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (I), (E)-1-(5-chlorothiophen-2-yl)-3-(4-(dimethylamino)phenyl)prop-2-en-1-one (II) and (E)-1-(5-chlorothiophen-2-yl)-3-(2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-5-yl)prop-2-en-1-one (III), were synthesized and their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compounds I, II and III crystallize in the monoclinic space groups P 21/c (centrosymmetric), P 21/n (centrosymmetric) and Pc (non-centrosymmetric), respectively. In all three compounds, the molecules are in a relatively planar conformation and adopt a trans configuration with respect to the C=C double bond. The crystal packings are stabilized by weak hydrogen-bonds, π · · · π, C–H · · · π and C–Cl · · · π interactions. The intermolecular contacts and lattice energies were further analyzed by Hirshfeld surface analysis. The third-order nonlinear optical properties of these chalcone derivatives were investigated using the single beam Z-scan technique with a 5 mW continuous wave diode laser operating at 635 nm, where compound I showed the highest potential for optical application with its exclusive nonlinear refractive index and nonlinear susceptibility.

The thermooptic coefficient dn/dT and the thermal-induced refractive index n2 of PbS nanoparticles in organosol were measured. The optical limiting properties of PbS nanoparticles were studied under continuous wave (cw) laser illumination. The obtained results were analyzed and discussed.

In this study, 8-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-oxo-3-p-tolyl-6H-pyrido[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazine-7,9-dicarbonitrile (A) was prepared and then the nonlinear optical properties of this compound, including nonlinear refractive index (n2) and nonlinear absorption coefficient (β) were measured using Z-scan technique by continuous wave laser diode at wavelengths of 405 and 532 nm. At wavelength of 532 nm, by increasing the incident intensity a switch over from saturable absorption (SA) to reverse saturable absorption (RSA) was observed. The results showed that the nonlinear optical properties of this compound depend on the wavelength. It was also observed that with decreasing incident intensity, the thermal nonlinear refractive coefficient increased accordingly, while its thermo-optic coefficient decreased. In addition, the third-order susceptibility of this compound in wavelength of 532 nm was obtained higher than 405 nm.

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:
