The imaging processing technique was used for studying a laser beam nature that transmitted through films of PM-355. The thermal nonlinearity of PM-355 films was studied using a 635 nm cw diode laser at 15 mW as the source of excitation. Third order nonlinear optical properties of PM-355 films irradiated with α-particles at different times and pristine sample has been studied using Z-scan technique. The samples showed a negative and large nonlinear refractive index and reverse saturable absorption (RSA) with high values of the nonlinear absorption coefficient. The fluorescence spectra of PM-355 films were investigated at room temperature and wavelength range of 250–500 nm for a pristine film and in different times of exposure to α-particles. The broad peaks were between 350, 420 and 465 nm. All-optical switching property of PM-355 samples irradiated with α-particles at 20 min was also studied using the standard pump-probe technique.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
