Effect of Electric Field on Nonlinear Optical Properties of Hydrazone Doped PMMA Films

Article Preview

Abstract:

We report the effect of electric field on third order nonlinear optical properties of Hydrazone (Hz) doped Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) films. The films were prepared by solution casting method. Poling of films was done by corona discharge. Single beam Z-scan technique with 7ns Nd: YAG laser pulses at 532nm were employed for the measurements. Third order susceptibility of films was measured with an emphasis on the applied electric field. We also demonstrated the second harmonic generation in the corona poled films.
