Abstract

Laser induced third-order nonlinear optical responses of Brilliant Green solution has been investigated by utilizing single beam Z-scan technique with a continuous-wave He-Ne laser radiation at 632.8 nm. It was observed that the material exhibits self-defocusing type optical nonlinearity. The measurements of nonlinear refraction were carried out at different dye concentrations and found that the increase in solution concentration leads to the linear increase of the nonlinear refractive index. The experimental results confirm great potential of the Brilliant Green for the application in nonlinear optical devices.

All-optical logic gate based on transient grating from disperse red 1 doped organic-inorganic hybrid films with an improved figure of merit

Journal Article Gao, Tianxi; Que, Wenxiu; Shao, Jinyou; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Azobenzene dyes have large refractive index near their main resonance, but the poor figure of merit (FOM) limits their potential for all-optical applications. To improve this situation, disperse red 1 (DR1) molecules were dispersed in a sol-gel germanium/Ormosil organic-inorganic hybrid matrix. Z-scan measurement results showed a good compatibility between the dopant and the matrix, and also, an improved FOM was obtained as compared to the DR1/polymer films reported previously. To demonstrate the all-optical signal processing effect, a cw Nd:YAG laser emitting at 532 nm and a He-Ne laser emitting at 632.8 nm were used as pump and probe beams, respectively.

Interferometric investigation and simulation of refractive index in glass matrixes containing nanoparticles of varying sizes

Journal Article Feeney, Michael; Ince, Rabia; Yukselici, Mehmet; ... - Applied Optics

The relationship between refractive index and nanoparticle radii of cadmium selenide (CdSe) nanoparticles embedded within glass matrixes was investigated experimentally and by simulations. A homemade automated Michelson interferometer arrangement employing a rotating table and a He-Ne laser source at a wavelength of 632.8 nm determined the refractive index versus nanoparticle radii of embedded cadmium selenide (CdSe) nanoparticles. The refractive index was found to decrease linearly with nanoparticle radius increase. However, one sample showed a step increase in refractive index; on spectroscopic analysis, it was found that its resonant wavelength matched that of the He-Ne source wavelength. The simulations showed thatmore »« less

Nonlinear refraction of silver hydrosols during their aggregation

Journal Article Karpov, S; Kodirov, M; Ryasnyansky, A; ... - Quantum Electronics (Woodbury, N.Y.)

The relation between the degree of aggregation of silver hydrosols and their nonlinear refractive index n{sub 2} is studied experimentally. It is found that the sign of n{sub 2} at a wavelength of 1.064 {mu}m changes with increasing the aggregation degree, which corresponds to the replacing of self-focusing by self-defocusing. The observed effects are explained based on the analysis of a change in nonlinear dispersion of the medium, taking into account the interaction between phases and the photochromic effects, which are typical for colloidal structures with fractal geometry. It is shown that the change in the sign of the nonlinearmore »« less

Thermally stimulated nonlinear refraction in gelatin stabilized Cu-PVP nanocomposite thin films

Journal Article Atkare, D.; Pahurkar, V.; Talwatkar, S.; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

This article illustrates investigations on thermally stimulated third order nonlinear refraction of Cu-PVP nanocomposite thin films. Cu nanoparticles have been synthesized using chemical reduction method and thin films in PVP matrix have been obtained using spin coating technique. Thin films have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopyfor structural and linear optical studies. Third order nonlinear refraction studies have been performed using closed aperture z-scan technique under continuous wave (CW) He-Ne laser. Cu-PVP nanocomposites are found to exhibit strong nonlinear refractive index stimulated by thermal lensing effect.

Study of nonlinear optical characteristics of various media by the methods of z-scan and third harmonic generation of laser radiation

Journal Article Ganeev, R; Kulagin, I; Tugushev, R; ... - Quantum Electronics (Woodbury, N.Y.)

The nonlinear optical parameters of colloidal solutions of metals, semiconductor chalcogenide films, vapours and solutions of organic dyes, as well as of fullerene-doped polyimide films are studied by the methods of z-scan and third harmonic generation (THG). The nonlinear refractive indices, nonlinear susceptibilities, and nonlinear absorption coefficients of these materials are measured at the fundamental 1064-nm emission wavelength of a 35-ps pulsed Nd:YAG laser and its second harmonic at 532 nm. The study of the optical limitation of picosecond and nanosecond light pulses in these media showed that the appearance of the long-wavelength absorption band at the final stage ofmore »« less
