Nonresonant third-order optical nonlinearity of all-carbon molecules C60

Abstract: The nonresonant third-order hyperpolarizability of all-carbon molecules C60 is measured by nanosecond degenerate four-wave-mixing experiment in C60 toluene solution. The value of γ1111 measured is 1.6×10−31 esu, which corresponds to an estimated value of the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility χ(3)1111E = 3.3 × 10−9 esu for the solid compound.

“…[19,21] From the outset, thin films of fullerenes have been the focal point of research. Upon reduction, fullerenes show novel superconducting, [22] magnetic, [23,24] nonlinear optical, [25] and photochemical properties. [26] Therefore, the electrochemical behavior of thin films of C 60 has been extensively studied, [27±29] and found to be very different from that of the dissolved species.…”

“…Thus the second-order hyperpolarizability γ of the sample molecule can be estimated through the equation [1,28,29] γ = χ (3) N c L c (7) where N c is the number density of molecules and L c is the local field correction factor which equals [(n 2 0 + 2)/3] 4 .…”
