Third-order nonlinear optical properties of multiwalled carbon nanotubes modified by CdS nanoparticles

CdS nanoparticles were coated on the side wall of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) by a wet chemical synthesis approach via noncovalent functionalization of MWCNTs with poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA). The as-prepared material was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–vis absorption, fluorescence and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results indicated that CdS nanoparticles were uniformly coated on the surface of MWCNTs. Third-order optical nonlinearity of the as-prepared material was studied with the Z-scan technique with picosecond laser pulses at 532 nm. The Z-scan curve revealed that CdS nanoparticle-modified MWCNTs exhibited negative nonlinear refraction index and positive absorption coefficient. The real part and imaginary part of the third-order nonlinear susceptibility χ⁽³⁾ were calculated to be −4.9 × 10⁻¹² and 6.8 × 10⁻¹³ esu, respectively.

合成了两种新的金属双噻吩类复合物:(苄基三乙基铵)双(1,3-二硫杂环戊烯-2-硫酮-4,5-二巯基)-金(BTEAADT)和(苄基三乙基铵)双(1,3-二硫杂环戊烯-2-硫酮-4,5-二巯基)-镍(BTEANDT).采用Z扫描方法,在皮秒脉冲下,分别测试了两种材料的乙腈溶液在532和1064nm的三阶非线性光学特性.Z扫描的结果表明,BTEAADT的乙腈溶液在532nm具有反饱和吸收效应,在1064nm非线性吸收效应可以忽略且在两种波长都有自散焦效应,三阶非线性折射率为负值.BTEANDT的乙腈溶液在532nm非线性吸收效应可以忽略,在1064nm具有饱和吸收效应且在两种波长都有自聚焦效应,三阶非线性折射率为正值.分析了造成这种差异的原因.经过计算得到了两种材料在532和1064nm的三阶非线性折射率,三阶非线性吸收系数,三阶非线性极化率和超极化率.BETAADT的非线性折射率在532nm为-1.685×10-18m2·W-1,在1064nm为-1.459×10-18m2·W-1;BTEANDT的非线性折射率在532nm为1.452×10-18m2·W-1,在1064nm为7.311×10-18m2·W-1.两种材料的三阶非线性吸收系数,三阶非线性极化率和超极化率的数量级分别是10-11m·W-1,10-13esu和10-31esu.结果表明这两种材料在非线性光学领域有潜在的应用价值.     

Linear and Nonlinear Optical Properties of Novel Multi-branched Oligomers

We investigate the fluorene-vinylene unit dependent photo-physical properties of multi-branched truxene based oligomers (Tr-OFV_n, n=1-4) employing steady-state absorption and emission spectroscopy, transient absorption spectroscopy, two-photon fluorescence, and z-scan technique. The results show that the increasing of fluorene-vinylene unit leads to a red-shift in the spectra of absorption and fluorescence, and shortens the excited state lifetime. Meanwhile, two-photon fluorescence efficiency and two-photon absorption cross section of truxene based oligomers gradually enhance in company with the extension of π-conjugated length. In addition, the values of two-photon absorption cross section modeled on the sum-over-state approach agree well with the experimental ones. The results indicate multi-branched truxene based oligomers bearing oligo(fluorene-vinylene) arms are promisingorganic materials for two-photon applications.     

Third-order nonlinear optical studies of newly synthesized polyoxadiazoles containing 3,4-dialkoxythiophenes

The third-order nonlinear optical properties of newly synthesized soluble polyoxadiazoles containing 3,4-dialkoxythiophenes were investigated by using Z-scan and degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) techniques. The measurements were performed at 532 nm with 7 ns pulses from a Nd:YAG laser. We found a good agreement between the values of χ⁽³⁾ determined from both the experiments. Z-scan results indicate a negative nonlinear refractive index, n₂, whose magnitude is of the order of 10⁻¹⁰ esu for all the copolymers. The variation of nonlinear response among the copolymers clearly indicates the dependence of χ⁽³⁾ on donor and acceptor type of units present in these copolymers. The copolymers exhibit strong reverse saturable absorption and good optical limiting properties at 532 nm.     

Amino acids (l-arginine and l-alanine) passivated CdS nanoparticles: Synthesis of spherical hierarchical structure and nonlinear optical properties

CdS nanoparticles (NPs) passivated with amino acids (l-alanine and l-arginine) having spherical hierarchical morphology were synthesized by room temperature wet chemical method. Synthesized NPs were characterized by ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis) spectroscopy to study the variation of band gaps with concentration of surface modifying agents. Increase in band gap has been observed with the increase in concentration of surface modifying agents and was found more prominent for CdS NPs passivated with l-alanine. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis were carried out for the study of crystal structure and morphology of CdS NPs. The average particle size of CdS NPs calculated from Debye-Scherer formula was found to less than 5 nm and agrees well with those determined from UV–vis spectra and TEM data. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy was performed to know the functional groups of the grown NPs. Peaks in FT-IR spectra indicate the formation of CdS NPs and capping with l-alanine and l-arginine. Photoluminescence spectra of these NPs were also studied. Finally, colloidal solution of CdS-PVAc was subjected to Z-scan experiment under low power cw laser illumination to characterize them for third order nonlinear optical properties. CdS-PVAc colloidal solution shows enhanced nonlinear absorption due to RSA and weak FCA on account of two photon absorption processes triggered by thermal effect.
