The effect of the thickness on structural, optical limiting, and dielectric properties of hybrid coatings rhodamine B dye films on an epoxy polymeric substrate for display applications

Various thickness of Rhodamine B (RhB) laser dye was deposited on epoxy polymeric as a new dielectric organic substrate by spin coating method for the first time. This study focused on the newly considered RhB dye on an epoxy substrate for wide-scale applications. The thickness effect on structural, optical, and dielectric properties of the hybrid coating films was performed. The XRD patterns of the films indicated a large hump amorphous design and lack of Bragg peak intensity associated with the RhB laser dye, due to amorphous film concentration. From UV-Visible spectroscopy, the optical absorption edge shifts to the higher wavelengths direction (redshift) with the variation in RhB dye thicknesses. It was found that the energy band gap decreased when the RhB dye film thickness changed. The refractive index is an important parameter influencing the optical component design. Their values vary according to each relationship that extremely useful the films in optical devices. Laser power attenuation sensitivity of pure epoxy polymeric substrate and its coating films shows that under reducing the thicknesses of RhB dye, the laser power intensity effect increases. Several dielectric parameters are extracted from the series and parallel capacitance measurements. The present results offer new material films for luminescent energy solar concentrator applications.

Spectral and ASE Properties of 1-(4-Methylsulfonyl Phenyl)-3-(4-N, N Dimethyl Amino Phenyl)-2-Propen-1-One (MSPPP)

This work demonstrates the spectral and amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) properties of a new chalcone laser dye material of 1-(4-methylsulfonyl phenyl)-3-(4-N, N dimethyl amino phenyl)-2-propen-1-one (MSPPP). The absorption, fluorescence, Stokes’ shift and quantum yield were obtained using different organic solvents. The energy band gap was calculated and compared with that of 3-[4-(dimethylamino) phenyl]-1-phenyl-(2E)-propen- 1-one (DAPPP). These include absorption, fluorescence, stokes shift, and amplified spontaneous emission (ASE). The absorption spectra of MSPPP showed a wavelength band in the range 403–427 nm, whereas the fluorescence spectra exhibited a band at 472–533 nm. ASE was observed under pump pulse laser excitation, and the wavelengths were attuned from 511 to 548 nm.
