The analysis of β components indicated that these amino acid zinc(II) porphyrins are of multipola- rizabilities, and they may be ascribed as the “mixture” of octupolar and dipoar molecules with ||βJ=3||/||βJ=1|| ≈ 5. It is found that there are no significant differences between the static β values of non-chiral and chiral amino acid zinc(II) porphyrins. However, the βxyz component, which is quite important to quadratic macroscopic χ (2) susceptibility of chiral material, is increased significantly with the increase of side chain group of amino acids.展开更多

The calculated results show that the fragments 2-SC4H3CH=CHC6H4-R in these organometallic chromophores are not planar with dihedral angles of 42.2~59.8 between two aromatic rings, which are different from those of uncoordinated counterparts. Based on the DFT geometry opti-mization, the second-order nonlinear optical polarizabilities were calculated by using RPA method. The calculated results indicate that incorporation of +3Mn(CO) unit with thiophene leads to a sub-stantial increase in the second-order polarizability (b).展开更多

Transmission electron microscope (TEM) analysis for PAPDMAABE indicates that part of PAPDMAABE is in crystal state, due to the short-range order of the polymer. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) curve shows that the polymer has good thermal stability and its decomposition temperature is 248℃. The optical band gap of PAPDMAABE obtained from the optical absorption spectrum is about 1.73 eV. The resonant third-order nonlinear optical property of PAPDMAABE at 532 nm was studied using degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) technique. The resonant third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility of the polymer is about 7.48×10^-8 esu.展开更多

The results showed that the introduction of electron-drawing group -CF3 and -C3F7 on β-diketonate made the strongest absorption peak red-shift and the lowest energy absorption blue-shied. Introduction of -OC2H5 on the benzene or pyridine ring made the lowest energy absorption blue-shift. When the -C2H3 was introduced on the benzene or pyridine ring, the lowest energy absorption was red-shifted. Introduction of electron-donating group on β-diketonate can enlarge their nonlinear optical properties. On the contrary, the introduction of electron-drawing group dropped it down.展开更多

The two-photon absorption and optical Kerr effect are revealed to contribute to the third-order nonlinear response of the Co-doped ZnO films. The nonlinear absorption coefficient β is determined to be approximately 8.8 × 10-5 cm/W and the third-order nonlinear susceptibility X(3) is 2.93 × 10-6 esu. The defect-associated energy levels within the band gap are suggested to be responsible for the enhanced nonlinear response observed in Co-doped ZnO films.展开更多

The linear optical properties of as-deposited films are derived by analyzing transmission spectra. The refractive index rises and the optical band gap decreases from 2.08 eV to 1.41 eV with increasing the Sb content. X-ray photoelectron spectra further confirm the formation of a covalent Sb--Se bond. The third-order nonlinear optical properties of thin films are investigated under femtosecond laser excitation at 800 nm. The results show that the third-order nonlinear optical properties are enhanced with increasing the concentration of Sb. The nonlinear refraction indices of these thin films are measured to be on the order of 10-18 m2/W with a positive sign and the nonlinear absorption coefficients are obtained to be on the order of 10-10 m/W. These excellent properties indicate that Sb-doped Ge-Se films have a good prospect in the applications of nonlinear optical devices.展开更多

The results obtained suggest that the soliton-pair intermediate state associated with the degenerated state does not play a major role in the third order nonlinear optical properties of PANI.展开更多

Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) curve shows that the polymer has good thermal stability and its decomposition temperature is 248℃. The optical band gap of PAPDMAABE obtained from the optical absorption spectrum is about 1.73 eV. The resonant third-order nonlinear optical property of PAPDMAABE at 532 nm was studied using degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) technique. The resonant third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility of the polymer is about 7.48×10^-8 esu.

文摘A triphenylamine-containing Schiff base ligand(L), namely, N-(4-(1 H-imidazol-1-yl)benzylidene)-N,N-diphenylbenzene-1,4-diamine, was synthesized and characterized. By coordination of the ligand with CdI2, a complex CdI2 L2 was obtained. The structure of the complex was analyzed through single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in monoclinic, space group P21/c with a = 25.277(5), b = 11.176(5), c = 17.912(5)A,β= 106.056(5)°, V = 4863(3)A3, Z = 4, Dc =1.633 Mg/m3, F(000)= 2360,Μr = 1195.19,μ= 1.766 mm-1, the final R = 0.0323 and wR = 0.0758 for 33414 observed reflections with I > 2?(I). The linear absorption spectra of the complex were experimentally and theoretically studied. And the third-order nonlinear optical(NLO) property of the complex was also measured through Z-scan technique.
文摘On the basis of adding the bond functions (3s 3p 2d) to the basis sets 6-311G ( 2d 2p ) for increasing the efficiency of the basis sets , we have carried out the MP2 calculations of nonlinear optical properties includintg dipole moment uo,polarizibili- ty ao and hyperpolarizability , for CH4-nFn (n = 1 , 2 , 3). The results are in good a- greement with those of experimentsl The roles of the bond functions in the calcula- tions are shown , i. e., the improved values of the properties are about 2%-7% at the SCF level and about 6%-30% at the correlated level (MP2). It is shown that the more important role of the bond functions in calculating is the im- provement of the effects of the corrections of electronic correlations and the increase of the effects is in the order of. In addition , it is also shown that the cal-, culated value of a property does not change with the bond-function location in our calculations except for the regions close to the nuclei in a molecule.
文摘Dond function basis sets have been used to calculate the molecular nonlinear optical properties which include hyperpolarizability βo , polarizability ao , and dipole moment μo for six molecules. The calculations at the fourth-order Moller-Plesset approximation (MP4) have recovered more than 90% of the experimental values βo , comparecl to that as low as 75% by the other authors. The calculated values of αo and iuo are also in good agreement with those of experiments and superior to that from other work. It is shown that the bond functions improve the calculated results at SCF level and especially at the level of the correction of electronic correlation (MP2 and MP4).

文摘UV-Vis spectrum and the third-order nonlinear optical properties of the chiral camphor-derived β-diketonate have been studied at the B3LYP/6-31G* level. The results showed that the introduction of electron-drawing group -CF3 and -C3F7 on β-diketonate made the strongest absorption peak red-shift and the lowest energy absorption blue-shied. Introduction of -OC2H5 on the benzene or pyridine ring made the lowest energy absorption blue-shift. When the -C2H3 was introduced on the benzene or pyridine ring, the lowest energy absorption was red-shifted. Introduction of electron-donating group on β-diketonate can enlarge their nonlinear optical properties. On the contrary, the introduction of electron-drawing group dropped it down.

文摘We quantitatively investigate the third-order optical nonlinear response of Co-doped ZnO thin films prepared by magnetron sputtering using the Z-scan method. The two-photon absorption and optical Kerr effect are revealed to contribute to the third-order nonlinear response of the Co-doped ZnO films. The nonlinear absorption coefficient β is determined to be approximately 8.8 × 10-5 cm/W and the third-order nonlinear susceptibility X(3) is 2.93 × 10-6 esu. The defect-associated energy levels within the band gap are suggested to be responsible for the enhanced nonlinear response observed in Co-doped ZnO films.

文摘Sb-doped GeSe2 chalcogenide thin films are prepared by the magnetron co-sputtering method. The linear optical properties of as-deposited films are derived by analyzing transmission spectra. The refractive index rises and the optical band gap decreases from 2.08 eV to 1.41 eV with increasing the Sb content. X-ray photoelectron spectra further confirm the formation of a covalent Sb--Se bond. The third-order nonlinear optical properties of thin films are investigated under femtosecond laser excitation at 800 nm. The results show that the third-order nonlinear optical properties are enhanced with increasing the concentration of Sb. The nonlinear refraction indices of these thin films are measured to be on the order of 10-18 m2/W with a positive sign and the nonlinear absorption coefficients are obtained to be on the order of 10-10 m/W. These excellent properties indicate that Sb-doped Ge-Se films have a good prospect in the applications of nonlinear optical devices.

文摘The fully oxidized state of polyaniline (PANI), pernigraniline (PN), was synthesized by oxidation of the emeraldine base form of PAM dissolved in NMP solvent with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid. The resulted PN was characterized by FTIR and UV-Visible spectra. The third-order nonlinear optical properties of PN in concentrated sulfuric acid (PN/H2SO4) were measured by a degenerated four wave mixing (DFWM) method. The results obtained suggest that the soliton-pair intermediate state associated with the degenerated state does not play a major role in the third order nonlinear optical properties of PANI.
文摘Neodymium-substituted bismuth titanate (Bi3NdTi3O12, BNT) thin films were prepared on quartz substrates by a metal-organic solution deposition process. The crystalline structure was evaluated by X-ray diffraction. Waveguide property was investigated by using prism coupling technique and optical transmittance measurement. The optical nonlinearities of the film were measured by the top-hat Z-scan techniques and a large positive nonlinear refractive index, nonlinear refractive coefficient and two-photon absorption coefficient were determined to be 3.84×10^7 esu, 0.7523 cm^2/GW and 4.81×10^4 cm/GW, respectively. These results reveal that the BNT film may be a kind of new multifunctional materials.

文摘Suspension of micrometer-sized 1,4-bis(4-methylstyryl)benzene(p-MSB) was converted into colloidal nanocrystal solution by irradiation with an femtosecond laser(800 nm, 1 kHz). The prepared nanocrystals were rectangular with ca. 100 nm in size. The same crystal structure as that of bulk crystals was confirmed by X-ray diffraction measurement. UV-Vis spectra and emission spectra of the nanoparticle dispersions in dichloromethane(poor solvent) were examined. The nanocrystal exhibits large quantum yield(89%). The nonlinear optical properties of the nanocrystals were further studied by Z-scan technique with femtosecond laser duration of 120 fs at a wavelength of 800 nm. The results show that the nanocrystals exhibit strong nonlinear absorption.
