ABSTRACTA study was made of third-order nonlinear optical susceptibilities of new tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives, using the degenerate four wave mixing (DFWM) method, as well as complex quantum chemical calculations. To understand the physical nature of the optical nonlinearities, we separated their electronic and nuclear contributions. We found that the electronic contribution to these nonlinearities predominated. Our investigations suggest that TTF may be a highly promising material for nonlinear optics (NLO).

Stretch-oriented cyanine-dye-doped poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) films were prepared at temperatures above the glass transition temperature of PVA. The optical absorption spectra of the stretch-oriented films exhibited an anisotropy. The third-order nonlinear optical susceptibilities of the stretch-oriented films were measured parallel and perpendicular to the stretching direction by the resonant femtosecond degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) technique, and a high anisotropic X(3) was observed for the uniaxially stretch-oriented cyanine-dye-doped PVA films.

AbstractThird-order non-linearities are important because they allow control over light pulses in ubiquitous high-quality centro-symmetric materials like silicon and silica. Degenerate four-wave mixing provides a direct measure of the third-order non-linear sheet susceptibility χ(3)L (where L represents the material thickness) as well as technological possibilities such as optically gated detection and emission of photons. Using picosecond pulses from a free electron laser, we show that silicon doped with P or Bi has a value of χ(3)L in the THz domain that is higher than that reported for any other material in any wavelength band. The immediate implication of our results is the efficient generation of intense coherent THz light via upconversion (also a χ(3) process), and they open the door to exploitation of non-degenerate mixing and optical nonlinearities beyond the perturbative regime.

ABSTRACTPicosecond and femtosecond degenerate four-wave mixing have been used to measure third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility of several rigid-rod polymers and model compounds. A significant X(3) with femtosecond response was observed. The effects of processing conditions and structural variations on X(3) were studied. Four-wave mixing studies can also be conveniently used to generate ultrasonic phonons of well defined wave length and propagation direction. From this result one can investigate mechanical properties of polymers. Using this technique both the longitudinal and shear components of the elastic moduli for a uniaxially oriented rigid-rod polymer, poly-p-phenylene bis benzooxazole (PBO), were determined.
