Nonlinear absorption and excited state dynamics in Rhodamine B studied using Z-scan and degenerate four wave mixing techniques

چکیده
We report our experimental results of nonlinear absorption and excited state dynamics in Rhodamine B solutions at 532 nm, on resonance of the absorption band and 600 nm at the absorption edge, studied using the standard Z-scan and degenerate four wave mixing techniques. We observed saturable absorption at 532 nm and a transition from saturable absorption to reverse saturable absorption at 600 nm with increase in either intensity or concentration. Time-resolved degenerate four wave mixing studies using incoherent light from a broadband dye laser also confirmed the presence of excited state absorption through resonant two-photon absorption. Concentration dependent studies indicate a complex behavior of reverse saturable absorption within saturable absorption. Results are explained using an effective five-level model. The value of two-photon absorption coefficient evaluated using the same model was 0:58 10 8 cm/W. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Characterization of 2PA Chromophores
We review several experimental methodologies for the determination of nonlinear absorption coefficients of organic chromophores in either solution or thin film form. The goal here is to also be able to identify and quantify the nonlinear absorption process or processes, e.g. the essentially instantaneous two-photon absorption (2PA) or the cumulative excited-state absorption (ESA). These methods...

We will present a detailed investigation of intersubband transitions process in core-multi shells quantum dots. The confined wave functions and eigenenergies of electrons in quantum dots have been calculated under the effective-mass approximation by solving a three-dimensional Schrodinger equation. Excellent dependence is found between size effects, time relaxation and degenerate four wave mixi...

Chalcogenide glasses such as arseic sulfide(As2 S3 ) have attracted attention for applications such as all-optical switching in high speed communication. This is due to their high non-linear refractive-index. Z-scan and the Degenerate four wave mixing (DFWM) techniques can be used to measure the non-linear refractive index n 2 and the two photon absorption coefficient β . A simaltanous closed-a...

There are several techniques in use for non-linear refractive index measurement, namely, interferometric techniques, in which conventional inter-ferometers are used, degenerate for wave mixing (DFWM), and z-scan, Each of these techniques suffers from some shortcmings. For example conventional interferometers like Fabry-Perot and Twyman-Green need high quality optical components, unwanted refl...
