    A new nonlinear optically active donor-acceptor-type conjugated polymer: Synthesis and electrochemical and optical characterization
    (2010) Manjunatha, M.G.; Vasudeva Adhikari, A.V.; Hegde, P.K.; Suchand Sandeep, C.S.S.; Philip, R.
    A new donor-acceptor-type poly[3-{5-[3,4-didodecyloxy-5-(1,3,4-oxadiazol- 2-yl)thiophen-2-yl]-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl}-9-dodecyl-9H-carbazole] (P) has been synthesized through multistep reactions. The new polymer P exhibited good thermal stability and film-forming behavior. The electrochemical band gap is estimated to be 2.15 eV. The polymer emits intense green fluorescence in the solid state. Third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) studies showed that the strong absorptive nonlinearity observed for the polymer is of the optical limiting type, which is due to an "effective" three-photon absorption (3PA) process. This 3PA process can have potential applications in photonic devices. The studies revealed that the new polymer P is a promising material for development of efficient optoelectronic devices. © 2010 TMS.

    Synthesis and third-order nonlinear optical studies of four-coordinated copper(I) complexes
    (2011) Kumar, H.C.S.; Rudresha, B.J.; Badekai Ramachandra, B.R.; Philip, R.; Guru Row, T.N.G.
    Three Cu(I) halide complexes [Cu(L)(PPh3)X] (L=1,10- phenanthroline, X=Cl (1), Br (2) and I (3), PPh3=triphenylphosphine) have been synthesised and characterised by spectroscopic techniques. Further structure of the complex 1 was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The nonlinear optical properties of the complexes were investigated at 532 nm using single beam Z-scan technique with nanosecond laser pulses. The complexes showed strong optical limiting behavior due to effective three-photon absorption (3PA). The values of 3PA coefficients (γ) for 1, 2 and 3 were found to be 3.2×10-24m3/W2, 6.0×10-25m3/W2 and 1.2×10 -23m3/W2 respectively, which are comparable to good optical limiting materials. These studies demonstrate that the Ligand→copper coordinative bonds facilitate the polarization of the electronic π-system which optimizes the third-order NLO response in the reported complexes. © 2011 American Institute of Physics.
