    Nonlinear optical studies of a newly synthesized copolymer containing oxadiazole and substituted thiophenes
    (2007) John Kiran, A.; Udayakumar, D.; Chandrasekharan, K.; Ahdikari, A.V.; Shashikala, H.D.; Philip, R.
    We investigated the third-order nonlinear optical properties of a newly synthesized soluble copolymer containing oxadiazole and thiophene units using Z-scan and Degenerate Four Wave Mixing (DFWM) techniques. The measurements were performed at 532 nm with 7 ns pulses from a Nd:YAG laser. We found a good agreement between the values of ?(3) determined from both experiments. Z-scan results indicate a negative nonlinear refractive index, n2, whose magnitude is of the order of 10-10 esu. The copolymer exhibits strong nonlinear absorption and good optical limiting properties at 532 nm, and hence may be a potential material for optical limiting applications. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.

    (2008) Kiran, A.J.; Satheesh Rai, N.; Udayakumar, D.; Chandrasekharan, K.; Kalluraya, B.; Philip, R.; Shashikala, H.D.; Vasudeva Adhikari, A.V.
    A bis-chalcone derivative, p-(N,N-dimethylamino) dibenzylideneacetone was synthesized. Its third-order nonlinear susceptibility was determined to be as high as 10-12 esu by employing single beam Z-scan and degenerate four wave mixing techniques using Nd:YAG 7 ns laser pulses at 532 nm. The compound was doped in to poly(methylmethacrylate) matrix and the third-order nonlinearity was investigated by using Z-scan technique. The nonlinear refractive index of the doped polymer is found to be negative, and its magnitude is of the order of 10-10 esu. The results show that the compound exhibits strong reverse saturable absorption and a good optical limiting property and hence may be used as a promising dopant material. The study on concentration dependence of nonlinear optical parameters has been presented. © 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    (2009) Hegde, P.K.; Vasudeva Adhikari, A.V.; Manjunatha, M.G.; Suchand Sandeep, C.S.; Philip, R.
    A new donor-acceptor type poly{2,2?-(3,4-didodecyloxythiophene-2,5-diyl)bis[5-(2-thienyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole]} (P) was synthesized starting from thiodiglycolic acid and diethyl oxalate through multistep reactions. The polymerization was carried out using chemical polymerization technique. The optical and charge-transporting property of the copolymer was investigated by UV-vis, fluorescence emission spectroscopic and cyclic voltammetric studies. The copolymer shows UV absorption maxima at 375 nm and displays bluish-green fluorescence in DMF solution. Its electrochemical band gap was determined to be 2.07 eV. The nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of the copolymer was investigated at 532 nm using single beam Z-scan and degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) techniques with nanosecond laser pulses. The copolymer exhibits strong optical limiting behavior due to effective three-photon absorption (3PA). Values of the effective 3PA coefficient (?), third-order nonlinear susceptibility (?(3)) and figure of merit (F) have been calculated. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Optical characterization of a new Donor-acceptor type conjugated polymer derived from 3,4-diphenylthiophene
    (2009) Manjunatha, M.G.; Vasudeva Adhikari, A.V.; Hegde, P.K.; Suchand Sandeep, C.S.; Philip, R.
    A new donor-acceptor type poly{2-(3,4-didecyloxythiophen-2-yl)-5-[3,4- diphenyl-5-(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)thiophen-2-yl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole} (P1) has been designed and synthesized starting from thiodiglycolic acid, 1,2-diphenylethane- 1,2-dione, and diethyl oxalate through multi-step reactions using precursor polyhydrazide route. The charge-transporting and linear optical property of the polymer has been investigated by cyclic voltammetric, UV-visible, and fluorescence emission spectroscopic studies. The UV-visible absorption spectrum of polymer in thin film form showed maxima at 420 nm. The polymer displayed bluish-green fluorescence both in solution and thin film form. The optical band gap is determined to be 2.27 eV. Third-order nonlinear optical property of the new polymer has been investigated at 532 nm using single beam Z-scan and degenerate four wave mixing (DFWM) techniques with nanosecond laser pulses. The absorptive nonlinearity observed for the polymer P1 is of optical limiting type, which arises due to an "effective" three-photon absorption (3PA) process. The third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility (?(3)) of the polymer is found to be 0.831 × 10-12 esu. Both linear and nonlinear optical studies revealed that the new polymer (P1) is a promising material for applications in photonic devices. © 2009 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.

    Nonlinear optical studies on a new poly{2-(biphenyl-4-yl)-5-[3,4- didecyloxy-5-(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl)thiophen-2-yl]-1,3,4-oxadiazole}
    (Trans Tech Publications Ltd ttp@transtec.ch, 2010) Hegde, P.K.; Vasudeva Adhikari, A.V.; Manjunatha, M.G.; Suchand Sandeep, C.S.; Philip, R.
    Measurements of nonlinear optical properties of a newly synthesized thiophene based polymer are reported. The nonlinear transmission measurements were performed on the polymer dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide by employing the single beam Z-scan technique using a Q-switched laser output at 532-nm. The polymer shows strong optical limiting behavior, where the transmittance decreases when the pump fluence is increased. It was found that an effective three-photon absorption (3PA) model at the excitation wavelength gives the best fit to the obtained experimental data. The value of the 3PA coefficient has been numerically calculated. This study clearly reveals the potential of new polymeric material has, for optical limiting applications. © (2010) Trans Tech Publications.

    In the present investigation, 2-[(E)-2-(4-ethoxyphenyl)ethenyl]-1-methylquinolinium 4-substituted benzenesulfonate (X = CH3 (1), X = OCH3 (2), X = Cl (3), X = Br (4)) have been synthesized and characterized by 1H NMR, UV-Vis and FT-IR spectroscopy methods. In addition compound 3 was also characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD) and found that it crystallized out in the monoclinic space group P21 with cell parameters, a = 9.8072(9) Å, b = 6.4848(5) Å, c = 19.4405(16) Å, ? = 90°, ? = 103.421(5)°, ? = 90°, z = 2 and V = 1202.61(17) Å3. The nonlinear optical absorption of the samples has been studied at 532 nm using 5 ns laser pulses, employing the open-aperture z-scan technique.

    Synthesis and characterization of a new NLO-active donor-acceptor-type conjugated polymer derived from 3,4-diphenylthiophene
    (2010) Manjunatha, M.G.; Vasudeva Adhikari, A.V.; Hegde, P.K.; Suchand Sandeep, C.S.; Philip, R.
    A new donor-acceptor-type conjugated polymer (P1) carrying 3,4-diphenylthiophene, 2,5-dihexyloxybenzene, and 1,3,4-oxadiazole units was synthesized through multistep reactions. The polymer was prepared using a polyhydrazide precursor route. The polymer has a well-defined structure and exhibits good thermal stability, with a decomposition onset temperature in nitrogen of 300 °C. Cyclic voltammetry experiments revealed that the polymer has low-lying LUMO (-3.68 eV) and high-lying HOMO (-5.78 eV) energy levels. The electrochemical band gap was found to be 2.10 eV. The UV-visible absorption spectrum of the polymer presented a maximum at 373 nm, and it displayed bluish-green fluorescence in dilute chloroform solution. The nonlinear optical properties of the new polymer were investigated at 532 nm using the Z-scan technique with nanosecond laser pulses. The polymer exhibited strong optical limiting behavior due to excited state absorption, which was phenomenologically similar to a three-photon absorption (3PA) process. The 3PA coefficient ? was found to be 7×10-22 m3/W2. The studies show that the new polymer (P1) is a promising material for developing efficient photonic devices.

    A new donor-acceptor type conjugative poly{2-[4-(1-cyanoethenyl)phenyl]-3- (3,4-didodecyloxythiophen-2-yl)prop-2-enenitrile}: Synthesis and NLO studies
    (2010) Hegde, P.K.; Vasudeva Adhikari, A.V.; Manjunatha, M.G.; Suchand Sandeep, C.S.; Philip, R.
    This research article describes a technique to synthesize a new donor-acceptor type conjugated polymer carrying cyanophenylenevinylene and 3,4-didodecyloxy thiophene moieties, as an effective optical limiting material. It also includes the evaluation of its linear and nonlinear optical properties and electrochemical studies. The new polymer, viz., poly{2-[4-(1-cyanoethenyl) phenyl]-3-(3,4-didodecyloxythiophen-2-yl)prop-2-enenitrile} (P1) has been synthesized starting from 2,2?-sulfanediyldiacetic acid and diethyl ethanedioate through multistep reactions. In the final step, the polymerization was brought about by Knovenagel condensation. The newly synthesized intermediate, monomer and the polymer (P1) have been characterized by different spectroscopic techniques followed by elemental analysis. Its optical and electrochemical properties are investigated by UV-vis, fluorescence spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetric studies, respectively. The red colored polymer has a well defined structure, good thermal stability and a band gap of 1.78 eV. It emits green fluorescence both in solution and in film state. The third-order nonlinear optical property (NLO) of the polymer was studied by the Z-scan technique. The measurements were performed at 532 nm with 5 ns laser pulses using samples in solution form. An absorptive nonlinearity of the optical limiting type was found in this polymer, which is due to the combined action of saturable absorption and excited state absorption processes. These studies revealed that polymer P1 is a promising material for optical limiting applications. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

    (2010) Hegde, P.K.; Vasudeva Adhikari, A.V.; Manjunatha, M.G.; Suchand Sandeep, C.S.; Philip, R.
    Three new donor-acceptor type poly{2,2 1-(3,4-dialkoxythiophene- 2,5-diyl)bis[5-(2-thienyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole]}s (P1, P2, and P3) were synthesized starting from thiodiglycolic acid and diethyl oxalate through multistep reactions. The polymerization was carried out using chemical polymerization technique. The optical and charge-transporting properties of the polymers were investigated by UV-visible, fluorescence emission spectroscopic and cyclic voltammetric studies. The polymers showed bluish-green fluorescence in solutions. The electrochemical band gaps were determined to be 2.03, 2.09, and 2.17 eV for P1, P2, and P3, respectively. The nonlinear optical properties of new polymers were investigated at 532 nm using single beam Z-scan and degenerate four-wave mixing (DFWM) techniques with nanosecond laser pulses. The polymers exhibited strong optical limiting behavior due to "effective" three-photon absorption. Values of the effective three-photon absorption (3PA) coefficients, thirdorder nonlinear susceptibilities (? (3)), and figures (F) of merit were calculated. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
