    All-optical switching and limiting properties of a Ru (II) Schiff-base complex for nonlinear optical applications
    (Institute of Physics Publishing michael.roberts@iop.org, 2017) Manjunatha, K.B.; Rajarao, R.; Umesh, G.; Badekai Ramachandra, B.R.; Poornesh, P.
    A salen-based ruthenium (Ru) (II) complex was synthesized for possible use in nonlinear optical device applications. The Ru complex was doped in a polymer matrix to fabricate films using a low-cost spin-coating technique. The third-order nonlinear optical parameters of the complex were investigated by Z-scan and degenerate four-wave mixing techniques. The study reveals two-order enhancement of third-order optical susceptibility ? (3) and exhibits superior limiting capability due to a reverse saturable absorption process. All-optical switching action for the films indicates that the sample can function as an optical inverter or a NOT gate. Hence, the Ru (II) Schiff-base complex materializes as a possible candidate for use in nonlinear optical devices. © 2017 Astro Ltd.

    Optical nonlinearity, limiting and switching characteristics of novel ruthenium metal-organic complex
    (Elsevier B.V., 2017) Manjunatha, K.B.; Rajarao, R.; Umesh, G.; Badekai Ramachandra, B.R.; Poornesh, P.
    We report the nonlinear optical properties of Ruthenium metal complex a promising organic material for use in scientific and technological applications. The thin films of newly synthesized ruthenium metal–organic complex were fabricated using spin coating technique. Z-scan and degenerate four wave mixing (DFWM) techniques used to extract the third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) parameters. The data reveals the investigated material exhibited relatively large NLO properties. The pump–probe experiments shows that the switch-on and off times of the material were in the order of ?s at different pump intensities and the energy dependent transmission studies reveal good limiting property of the material in nanosecond regime. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.
