Simultaneous two and three photon resonant enhancement of third-order NLO susceptibility in an azo-dye functionalized polymer film.

چکیده
We report the observation of simultaneous two and three photon resonances, enhancing the third-order NLO susceptibility in a thin film of an azo-dye polymer. The possibility of 2-3 orders of magnitude increase in χ((3)) susceptibility is sustained by quantum mechanical calculations. This improves the applications of azo-polymers in all optical signal processing as well as in nonlinear optical imaging.

Azobenzene-functionalized polymer films are functional materials, where the (planar vs. homeotropic) orientation of azo-dyes can be used for storing data. In order to characterize the nanoscale 3D orientation of the pigments in sub-10 nm thick polymer films we use two complementary techniques: polarization-controlled tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) microscopy and contact scanning capacity ...
متن کاملPhotocatalytic degradation of an azo textile dye with manganese-doped ZnO nanoparticles coated on glass
Mn doped ZnO nanocomposite thin film coated on glass by a simple spin-coating method was used to degrade an azo textile dye from aqueous environment. Mn doped ZnO nanocomposite thin film was characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The photo-reduction activity of photocatalyst was evaluated using an azo textile dye as organic contaminant irradiat...

To investigate the absorption behavior as a function of time, the absorption spectrum at 100 OC was taken at regular intervals over 40 h for poled/cured A204/DR1. An absorption peak at A, , = 508 nm existed before poling/curing. After poling/curing &shifta to 493 nm with a decrease of absorbanc...

We used a variety of nonlinear optical (NLO) spectroscopies to study the singlet excited states order, and primary photoexcitations in polyfluorene; an important blue emitting πconjugated polymer. The polarized NLO spectroscopies include ultrafast pump-probe photomodulation in a broad range of 0.2 to 2.6 eV, two-photon absorption in the range of 3.2 4.2 eV, and electroabsorption covering the sp...
