用于红外探测的极度非简并非线性光学

半导体中的双光子吸收(2PA)与能隙的三次方的倒数(Eg-3)成正比,这一关系限制了在宽带隙半导体中获得双光子吸收系数。但是已知在输入波长迥异的高度非简并情况下,双光子吸收率较简并状态会有大幅提升。在飞秒和皮秒脉冲下的泵浦探测传输实验中证实了几种直接能隙半导体具有这种性质。发现在许多直接能隙半导体中,非简并双光子吸收率较简并情况下可增强约100倍。在GaAs中,观察到双光子吸收系数达到1cm/MW,这么大的系数以前只在窄带半导体如InSb中观察到过。基于这种作用可以利用传统的半导体光电二极管获得敏感的选通探测。采用标准的GaN和GaAs光电二极管和高达14∶1的能量比的极度非简并光子证实了此技术。此外,还采用强紫外选通脉冲探测弱红外辐射,如采用GaN光电二极管,最小可探测红外脉冲能量可低至20pJ,而现有的标准制冷型MCT探测器的最小可探测能量为200pJ。我们现在还证实这种方法也可在连续波探测中应用。值得注意的是,这个过程没有用到类似χ(2)上转换的红外晶体或相位匹配。在本报告中将介绍怎样将这种探测技术用于其他半导体,以及如何优化器件的几何结构以满足实用化探测要求。

Study of sequential two photon absorption and conduction band electrons absorption in ZnSe

Using the Z-scan technique and pump–probe technique with 130 fs laser pulses at 800 nm, we verify that an intraband one-photon absorption follows the interband two photon absorption. Particularly, we find that there is an intraband relaxation interspersed between these two absorption processes for some of the conduction band electrons but not all of them. In this study, we measure the interband two photon absorption coefficient and the absorptive cross sections associated with both excitation pathways within the conduction band. In addition, we estimate the time for relaxation of electrons within the conduction band to be 250 fs.     

Giant two‐photon absorption in monolayer MoS2

Strong two‐photon absorption (TPA) in monolayer MoS₂ is demonstrated in contrast to saturable absorption (SA) in multilayer MoS₂ under the excitation of femtosecond laser pulses in the near‐infrared region. MoS₂ in the forms of monolayer single crystal and multilayer triangular islands are grown on either quartz or SiO₂/Si by employing the seeding method through chemical vapor deposition. The nonlinear transmission measurements reveal that monolayer MoS₂ possesses a nonsaturation TPA coefficient as high as ∼(7.62 ±0.15) ×10³ cm/GW, larger than that of conventional semiconductors by a factor of 10³. As a result of TPA, two‐photon pumped frequency upconverted luminescence is observed directly in the monolayer MoS₂. For the multilayer MoS₂, the SA response is demonstrated with the ratio of the excited‐state absorption cross section to ground‐state cross section of ∼0.18. In addition, the laser damage threshold of the monolayer MoS₂ is ∼97 GW/cm², larger than that of the multilayer MoS₂ of ∼78 GW/cm².

     

Photoacoustic detection of two photon absorption in formaldehyde using pulsed dye laser

Absorption spectra of formaldehyde molecule in the gas phase have been recorded using photoacoustic (PA) technique with pulsed dye laser at various power levels. The spectral profiles at higher power levels are found to be different from that obtained at lower laser powers. Two photon absorption (TPA) is found to be responsible for the photoacoustic signal at higher laser power while the absorption at lower laser power level is attributed to one photon absorption (OPA) process. Probable assignments for the different transitions are given in this paper.

Modeling non-Lorentzian two-photon absorption line shape in dipolar chromophores

We present a new approach to modeling of homogeneous line shape in two-photon absorption (2PA) spectra of chromophores with large permanent dipole moment difference between the ground- and excited electronic states using numerical solution of stochastic two-level density matrix equation of motion. Good agreement with experimental 2PA line shapes is obtained for S₁←S₀ transition of Styryl 9 M, which allows us to estimate that the permanent dipole moment difference varies in this chromophore within the S₁←S₀ band in the range, Δμ=12-25 D.

Investigation of nonlinear optical parameters of zinc based amorphous chalcogenide films

Third order nonlinear optical properties of amorphous Zn_x–S_y–Se_100−x−y chalcogenide films have been investigated using single beam transmission z-scan technique at 1064 nm of Nd:YAG laser. Measurement of optical properties of amorphous Zn_x–S_y–Se_100−x−y chalcogenide films prepared by thermal evaporation technique has been made. X-ray diffraction patterns of chalcogenide films confirm the amorphous nature. Optical band gap (E_g) has been estimated using Tauc's plot method from transmission spectra that is found to decrease with increase in content due to valence band broadening and band tailing the system. Nonlinear refractive index (n₂), nonlinear absorption coefficient (β) and third order nonlinear susceptibility (χ³) of chalcogenide films have been estimated. Self-focusing effect has been observed in closed aperture and reverse saturable absorption in open aperture scheme. Limiting threshold and dynamic range have been calculated from optical limiting studies. The increase in nonlinearity with increase in Zn content has been observed that is understood to be due to decrease in band gap on Zn doping. High nonlinearity makes these films a potential candidate for waveguides, fibers and two photon absorption in optical limiters.     

Synthesis, characterization and studies on the nonlinear optical parameters of hydrazones

Three hydrazones, 2-(4-methylphenoxy)-N′-[(1E)-(4-nitrophenyl)methylene]acetohydrazide (compound-1), 2-(4-methylphenoxy)-N′-[(1E)-(4-methylphenyl)methylene]acetohydrazide ((compound-2) and N′-{(1E)-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]methylene}-2-(4-ethylphenoxy) acetohydrazide(compound-3) were synthesized and their third order nonlinear optical properties were investigated using a single beam z-scan technique with nanosecond laser pulses at 532 nm. Open aperture data obtained from the three compounds indicates two photon absorption at this wavelength. The nonlinear refractive index n₂, the nonlinear absorption coefficient β, the magnitude of the effective third order susceptibility χ⁽³⁾, the second order hyperpolarizability γ_h and the coupling factor ρ have been estimated. The values obtained are comparable with the values obtained for 4-methoxy chalcone derivatives and dibenzylidene acetone derivatives. Among the compounds studied, compounds-1 and 3 exhibited the better optical power limiting behaviour at 532 nm. Our studies suggest that compounds-1, 2 and 3 are potential candidates for optical device applications such as optical limiters and optical switches.
