Ultrafast Nonlinear Optical and Optical Limiting Properties of Phthalocyanine Thin Films Studied Using Z-Scan

We have investigated the nonlinear optical properties, optical limiting thresholds, and figures of merits for five different phthalocyanine thin films, achieved through doping in PMMA polymer, using the Z-scan technique at 800 nm with 2 ps laser pulse excitation. From the open-aperture Z-scan data we derived that these molecules exhibit strong two photon absorption (2PA) with the nonlinear abso...

Femtosecond and nanosecond nonlinear optical properties of alkyl phthalocyanines studied using Z-scan technique

We report our results on nonlinear optical properties of 2(3), 9(10), 16(17), 23(24) tetra tert-butyl phthalocyanine and 2(3), 9(10), 16(17), 23(24) tetra tert-butyl Zinc phthalocyanine studied using Z-scan technique with 800 nm femtosecond and 532 nm nanosecond pulses. Nonlinear absorption behavior in both femtosecond and nanosecond domains was studied in detail. We observed three-photon absor...

Study of nonlinear optical properties of Carbon nanotubes synthesized by Nickel and Nickel-Cobalt catalysts using Z-scan technique

The nonlinear optical properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been studied by using the Z-scan technique. Experiments are performed by CW second harmonic of Nd-YAG laser at 532 nm wavelength with a power of 40 mW. The samples are synthesized by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method in the presence of Nickel and Nickel-Cobalt catalysts. In this work, for the first time, effect of the typ...

Nonlinear optical and optical limiting properties of phthalocyanines in solution and thin films of PMMA at 633 nm studied using a cw laser

We present our results on nonlinear optical (NLO) and optical limiting properties of Tetra tert-butyl phthalocyanine and Zinc tetra tert-butyl phthalocyanine studied at 633 nm using a continuous wave laser. We have evaluated the sign and magnitude of the third-order nonlinearity from the closed aperture Z-scan data while the nonlinear absorption properties were assessed using the open aperture ...
