Nonlinear studies of acid fuchsin 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 Acid Fuchsin has been studied. The third-order nonlinear optical properties of Acid Fuchsin 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)=-8.72 x 10(-8) and -10.308 x 10(-8) (cm(2)/W) in liquid and solid media, respectively), nonlinear absorption coefficient (beta=-7.69 x 10(-4) and -8.294 x 10(-4)cm/W in liquid and solid media, respectively) and susceptibility (chi(3)=4.33 x 10(-6) and 5.13 x 10(-5)esu in liquid and solid media, respectively). These results show that Acid Fuchsin dye has potential applications in nonlinear optics.
