Synthesis, Characterization and Investigation of the Third Order Nonlinear Optical Properties of Pyrrole Schiff Bases

Article Preview

Abstract:

We have investigated the third order nonlinear optical properties of pyrrole Schiff bases synthesized by condensing pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde with two different diamines. The nonlinear optical measurements were performed using the nano- second laser pulses at 532nm wavelengthby employing the Z-scan technique. The Z- scan spectra reveal a large negative non-linear refraction co-efficient .The nonlinear refractive index was found to be of the order of 10 -14cm2/W and the magnitude of third order susceptibility was of the order of 10 -13esu. These compounds exhibit good optical power limiting property under nano-second regime and TPA (Two Photon Absorption) is the dominating process leading to the non-linear behavior.
