Nonlinear studies of Pararosanilin dye in liquid and solid media.
Solid-state dye-doped polymers are attractive alternative to the conventional liquid dye solutions. In this paper, nonlinear properties of the dye Pararosanilin has been studied. The third-order nonlinear optical properties of Pararosanilin dye in 1-butanol and dye-doped polymer film were measured by the Z-scan technique using 532 nm diode pumped Nd:Yag laser. This material exhibits negative optical nonlinearity. The dye at 0.4 mM concentration exhibited nonlinear refractive coefficient (n(2) = -6.8 x 10(-8) and -7.11 x 10(-8) (cm(2)/W) in liquid and solid media, respectively), nonlinear absorption coefficient (beta = -7.7 x 10(-4) and -7.93 x 10(-4)cm/W in liquid and solid media, respectively) and susceptibility (chi((3))=3.38 x 10(-6) and 3.53 x 10(-5)esu in liquid and solid media, respectively). These results show that Pararosanilin dye has potential applications in nonlinear optics.
