飞秒脉冲激光啁啾对4,4’-二(二正丁胺基)二苯乙烯的光限幅及动态双光子吸收的影响(英文)

通过采用预估矫正的时域有限差分方法(FDTD)数值求解Maxwell-Bloch方程,研究飞秒啁啾脉冲激光在4,4’-二(二正丁胺基)二苯乙烯(BDBAS)分子介质中的光限幅行为(OL)和动态双光子吸收(TPA)截面.计算表明啁啾率的符号和大小都对频谱演化和光限幅行为产生影响.啁啾率的符号决定频移的方向:正啁啾对应频谱蓝移,负啁啾对应频谱红移.随着啁啾率绝对值的增大,频移更加明显,光限幅窗口变窄,同时出射光强饱和值变大.有趣的是,当负啁啾降低到一定值(-0.025/fs2)时,出现自感应透明(SIT)现象.另外,动态双光子吸收截面在考虑啁啾效应的情况下减小.本研究提供了一种控制非线性光学吸收的方法.

石墨烯及其衍生物作为新型碳纳米结构,由于其优异的光限幅性能而受到广泛关注,但现有的工作多侧重于其在液相体系中光限幅效应及其起因研究.本文以壳聚糖为成膜基质,将氧化石墨烯(GO)与壳聚糖(CS)在液相中均匀共混后成膜,对比研究GO溶液和GO-CS复合膜的光限幅效应及其起因.结果表明在线性透过率相同的情况下,GO在固相基质中表现出比液相基质更强的光限幅效应和更弱的非线性散射.这说明不同于碳纳米管简单的非线性散射,在GO中可能存在多种非线性光学效应.

Optical limiting properties of zinc phthalocyanines in solution and solid PMMA composite films

The nonlinear absorption and optical limiting (OL) performance of tetra- and octasubstituted zinc phthalocyanine complexes were described in solution and in the solid state using the open-aperture Z-scan technique. The measurements were performed using collimated 4 ns pulses generated from a frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser at 532 nm wavelength. The polymeric films exhibit a much larger effective nonlinear absorption coefficient in comparison with solution. However, the parameters of the ratio of the excited to ground state absorption cross section and energy-dependent saturation in solution are much better compared to properties in the polymeric film. In terms of the ratio of the excited to ground state absorption cross section, the peripherally substituted complexes show better OL performance than the non-peripherally substituted derivative.

Nonlinear two-photon absorption properties induced by femtosecond laser with the films of two novel anthracene derivatives

Two novel anthracene derivatives containing 4-vinylpyridine (FPEA) and 2-vinylpyridine (TPEA) poly(methyl methacrylate) films are prepared on quartz glass substrates. Their nonlinear absorption properties are investigated by using a 120-fs, 800-nm Ti:sapphire femtosecond pulsed laser operating at a 1-kHz repetition rate. The unique nonlinear absorption properties of these new compounds are observed by utilizing a Z-scan system. These two-photon absorption (TPA) properties are proven by the two-photon fluorescence excited at 800 nm. The FPEA and TPEA films have nonlinear TPA coefficients of 0.164 and 0.148 cm/GW and the TPA cross sections of 3.345 × 10-48 and 3.081 × 10-48 cm4 ·s/photon, respectively. The influence of the chemical structures on the nonlinear TPA properties of the compounds is also discussed. The highly nonlinear TPA activities of the films implied that the new anthracene derivatives are suitable materials with promising applications in super-high-density three-dimensional data storage and nano- or microstructure fabrication.

Optical limiting properties of trimeric metallo-phthalocyanines/polymer composite films

The nonlinear absorption and optical limiting properties of two trimeric metallo-phthalocyanines namely, 2,4,6-tris[2-oxa-9,10,16,17,23,24-hexa(hexylthio) phthalocyaninato M(II)]-s-triazine (M=Zn for compound ZnPc and Cu for compound CuPc) doped polyvinyl chloride (PVC) thin film in the nanosecond regime were investigated by using the open-aperture Z-scan technique. The measurements were performed using 4 ns pulses generated from a frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser at 532 nm wavelength. OL parameters of the ratio of the excited state to ground state absorption cross-sections κ, the effective nonlinear absorption coefficient β_eff, the linear absorption coefficient α₀ and the saturation density or energy density F_sat values were determined. The results show that MPc/PVC composite displays much larger nonlinear absorption coefficient and lower saturable fluence for optical limiting when compared to the same Pc molecules in solution. The results indicated that both compounds exhibited good OL performances. ZnPc shows slightly better OL parameters than that of CuPc.     

Experimental and theoretical studies on the one‐photon and two‐photon properties of a series of carbazole derivatives containing styrene

Symmetric‐type carbazole derivatives show great potential for application in two‐photon absorption (TPA) materials and organic light‐emitting diodes. The absorption spectra and fluorescence emission spectra of three different N‐alkyl symmetric‐type carbazole derivatives were investigated. The density functional theory (DFT) time‐dependent‐DFT//Becke, three‐parameter, Lee–Yang–Parr/6‐31 G* method has been used to theoretically study one‐photon absorption properties. The computational results are in good agreement with the available experimental values. The two‐photon excited fluorescence of the compounds was surveyed by 120 fs pulse at 790 nm Ti: sapphire laser operating at 1 kHz repetition rate. Two‐photon excited fluorescence was obtained in the range of 380–600 nm, and TPA cross‐sections were calculated. The TPA properties of the series of compounds were investigated by the ZINDO/single and double electronic excitation configuration interaction method. The influence of the chemical structure of the compounds on two‐photon optical properties was discussed. The results show how the different changes in one‐photon absorption and TPA properties on the basis of lengthening the conjugated bridge and the different carbazole N‐alkyl substituents are attributed to the transition dipole moment in the excited process.
