Films with alternating layers containing anionic tetracarboxylic copper phthalocyanine [ CuPc(COONa)4 ] and cationic polydiallydimethylammonium chloride (PDDA) were fabricated by electrostatic self-assembled layer-by-layer (LBL) technique. The delicate structure of the film was characterized by a series of techniques. The third-order nonlinear optical properties of the film were measured by the Z-scan technique with laser duration of 4 ns and 21 ps at the wavelength of 532 nm. The film exhibited excellent nonlinear absorption and self-focusing effect. The second-order molecular hyperpolarizability γ value of the film was much larger than that of CuPc(COONa)4 aqueous solution under the irradiation of whether ns or ps pulses. A series of damage experiments of the film for the intense laser pulses were conducted to prove the reliability of the experimental results under the conditions.

A novel tree-like nano-cadmium sulfide (CdS) with the fractal feature is synthesized by solid-state reaction at room temperature from complex precursor with aminotrimethylenephosphonic acid (ATMP) as ligand. The obtained sample is the crystalline cubic beta cadmium sulfide. The tree is composed of nanorods with an average diameter of ca. 95 nm and a length of up to 100–650 nm. The nanorods grow in the asymmetrical "Y" shape. The amount of ATMP plays an important role in the formation of fractal structure. Nonlinear optical (NLO) measurements by the Z-scan technique exhibit that the tree-like fractal nano- CdS has the third-order nonlinear optical properties of both NLO absorption and NLO refraction with self-focusing effect and the optical limiting performance.

We report the effect of electric field on third order nonlinear optical properties of Hydrazone (Hz) doped Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) films. The films were prepared by solution casting method. Poling of films was done by corona discharge. Single beam Z-scan technique with 7ns Nd: YAG laser pulses at 532nm were employed for the measurements. Third order susceptibility of films was measured with an emphasis on the applied electric field. We also demonstrated the second harmonic generation in the corona poled films.

AbstractThe emergence of metamaterials (MMs) has led to groundbreaking photo-physical phenomena, which arise from their novel structure-dependent properties. Consisting of “meta-atom” building blocks, MMs can be organized into subwavelength metal/dielectric structures using bottom-up or top-down nanofabrication techniques. Optical metal metasurfaces are a class of MMs with macroscopic lateral dimensions but composed of one to few subwavelength layers of precisely oriented metal-based elements over a large surface area. In this review, we focus on gold metasurfaces, highlighting their fabrication methods, morphological characterization, as well as linear and nonlinear optical properties. We then review our recent work on fabricating and characterizing self-assembled gold metasurface. An interesting characteristics of the gold metasurfaces is their wide range of linear refractive indices, varying from n0 ~ 0.5 in the visible to n0 ~ 4 in the short wavelength infrared spectral region. Third-order nonlinearities are characterized by the Z-scan technique at wavelengths on- and off-plasmonic resonance of the gold metasurface. Experimental results on the relationship between the third-order nonlinearity of the self-assembled gold metasurface as a function of the linear response are presented for the first time. We conclude by discussing the potential applications and future outlook of self-assembled plasmonic metasurfaces.

Carbazole derivative is one sort of important nonlinear optical materials. In this work, new symmetric-type D-π-D carbazole derivatives, 3, 6 - di- substituted carbazole chromophores with two styryl bridges of the two-dimensional conjugated D-π-D system were synthesized via Witting reaction and characterized by IR, NMR and MS. The third-order nonlinear optical properties of the material were investigated using single-beam Z-scan technique with Sapphire femtosecond laser pulses at 800nm, repetition rate of 1 KHz and pulse width of 140fs. The results of Z-scan with and without an aperture showed that larger third-order nonlinear optical polarizabilities γ can be readily obtained in such carbazole chromophores because of the incorporation with two styryl bridges, increasing of conformational planarity and molecular conjugation length.

A novel dmit 2- complex: [ C 7 H 7( C 2 H 5)3 N ][ Ni ( dmit )2], abbreviated as BTEANDT, was synthesized and its third-order nonlinear optical properties were investigated by Z-scan technique at the wavelength of 1064 nm with laser duration of 20 ps. A self-focusing effect and a saturable absorption were observed. The nonlinear refraction coefficient n2 and the nonlinear absorption coefficient β have been found to be 7.311 × 10-18 m 2/W and -6.064 cm/GW when I0=3.025 GW/cm2. The intensity dependence curve of β was also studied and the result reveals that β is proportional to I0. We explained the result with the theory of absorption cross-section.
