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 D4σ-Z-scan technique is used to evaluate the sign and the magnitude of the nonlinear (NL) refractive index and the NL absorption (NLA) coefficient with a laser delivering single pulses in the picosecond regime at 355 nm, 532 nm and 1064 nm. The NL optical response of the zinc porphyrins (Pph) has been found to be significantly enhanced. The study of the NLA and refraction is performed, taking into account the time dependence and the spectral width of the incident laser. The variations of the NL coefficients as a function of the intensity and the concentration are provided and are found to be linear.

Novel heteropentameric porphyrins-pyrene arrays, in which four meso-tetraphenyl porphyrins are linked to the center unit of pyrene by four acetylenyl bonds, were designed and synthesized. The newly synthesized heteropentameric compounds have been characterized by a wide range of spectroscopic methods. The third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of both the metal-free and zinc compounds of the three-dimensional arrays were investigated by Z-scan experiments, showing enhanced NLO properties compared with that of the porphyrin and pyrene monomers.

This study reports the third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) stabilized pure and transition metals (Cu, Co and Mn) doped ZnS nanoparticles (NPs) and their electronic structures. The third-order NLO properties of pure and transition metals (Cu, Co and Mn) doped ZnS NPs were measured by [Formula: see text]-scan technique. From these measurements, the pure and doped ZnS samples exhibit negative nonlinearity i.e., self-defocusing. The open aperture [Formula: see text]-scan measurement shows saturated absorption within the medium. The prepared pure and doped ZnS samples exhibit nonlinear refractive index of the order of 10[Formula: see text][Formula: see text](cm2/W), nonlinear absorption (NLA) coefficient of the order of 10[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]cm/W and nonlinear optical susceptibility of the order of 10[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]esu. The electronic structures of these ZnS NPs were investigated using near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) measurements at the C K-, N K- and Co L[Formula: see text]-edges. The C K- and N K-edges XANES spectra reveal the appearance of several spectral features in the range 285–290[Formula: see text]eV and 390–430[Formula: see text]eV respectively. The Co L[Formula: see text]-edge NEXAFS spectrum exhibits multiplet absorption lines similar to those of Co[Formula: see text] ions coordinated in tetrahedral symmetry with four sulfur nearest neighbors. These results clearly demonstrate that divalent Co ions substitute Zn sites. From the Raman spectra, the appearance of multiple resonance Raman peaks indicates that the prepared ZnS samples have good optical quality.
