“…Hence, in this paper, we present the synthesis and properties of a new laser dye crystal, rhodamine 590 acid phthalate. Although different materials have earlier been studied for their nonlinear properties, 47 this new crystal has high optical nonlinearity. To explore the possibility of NLO application of the new rhodamine 590 acid phthalate crystal, we have calculated its (i) first-order and second-order hyperpolarizabilities theoretically by performing quantum chemical computations and (ii) second-order hyperpolarizability experimentally by measuring the two-photon absorption (TPA) cross section using intensity-modulated light fields.…”

The synthesis and crystal structure of rhodamine 590 acid phthalate (RhAP) have been reported. This novel solid-state rhodamine derivative not only has a longer fluorescence lifetime compared to rhodamine solid-state matrixes where emission is quenched but also possesses strong nonlinear optical characteristics. The static and dynamic first- and second-order hyperpolarizabilities were calculated using the time-dependent density functional theory at the B3LYP/6-31+G* level. The computed static values of β and γ of RhAP by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) structure were 31.9 × 10 –30 and 199.0 × 10 –36 esu, respectively. These values were about 62 times larger than the corresponding values in urea, an already well-known nonlinear optical material. The second-order hyperpolarizability of the compound was determined experimentally by measuring the two-photon absorption cross section using intensity-modulated light fields. The reported compound, excitable at near-infrared, exhibited frequency upconversion with the two-photon absorption coefficient enhanced by two orders of magnitude compared to that of the dye solution. Hosting the dye in the solid, at high concentrations, exploits the nonlinearity of the dye itself as well as results in significant excitonic effects including formation of broad exciton band and superradiance.
