Synthesis and optical nonlinear properties performance of azonaphthol dye

Abstract

Azonapthol dye viz., (E)-4-(phenyldiazenyl)naphthalen-1-ol (C16H11N3O3) is synthesized via diazotization of p-nitro aniline and subsequent coupling with α-naphthol. 1H NMR spectrum is used to identify the position of protons in obtained compound. FTIR spectrum is used to assign the absorption bands of vibration bonds at the expected regions. Mass spectrum proved a good agreement with structure of the prepared azonaphthol dye. The third order optical nonlinear properties of the azonaphthol dye 4 dissolved in acetone viz., the nonlinear index of refraction and the nonlinear absorption are obtained using 473 nm laser beam via diffraction ring patterns at 42 mW and Z-scan at 5 mW techniques separately. High nonlinear refractive index, 10−6 cm2 W−1, is obtained via diffraction ring pattern. Optical limiting property of azonapthol dye 4 solution is tested and a limiting threshold value of 17 mW is obtained, and prove that the sample can be used as an optical limiter. The Fraunhofer approximations of the Fresnel-Kirchhoff theory have led to the diffraction ring patterns simulation where very good agreement have been obtained.

“…Examples of these properties are electronic spatial extent, dipole moment, polarizability, α , hyperpolarizability, β , E HOMO , E LUMO , and E L‐H . These properties offer an efficient view and visualization regarding the nature of the studied materials in order to discover their various potential applications in physicochemical fields such as NLO activity [39] . Thus, we applied the DFT‐assisted (B3LYP/6‐31G*) calculations to predict the optical properties of the synthesized derivative 4 .…”

A novel azo compound derived from ethyl-4-amino benzoate: synthesis, nonlinear optical properties and DFT investigations

“…Recently, vast number of researchers are interested in finding and/or preparing systems of high quality that behave nonlinearly towards laser light beams since the index of refraction becomes intensity dependent as it is exposed to electric field of high values. The laser beam interaction with nonlinear materials leads to variety of effects in the transverse dimensions viz., self-focusing (SF) and defocusing (SDF), spatial ring formation, self-phase modulation, etc., [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Materials having high nonlinear optical (NLO) third-order properties and ultra-fast response time led to considerable scientific activities for their potential applications viz., optical computing, optical phase conjugation, all-optical switching (AOS), holography, spatial dark soliton transmission, optical power limiting, harmonic generation [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] etc.…”

“…During the last three decades, there has been great needs for materials with high optical nonlinearities and fast response times which can be used with low power laser beams, [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] in variety of applications such as optical switching, [11,12] imaging processing, [13] data storage, [14][15][16][17] phase conjugation, [18] and optical limiting. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25] When a laser beam with fundamental, TEM 00 , transverse mode and continuous wave (cw) traverses a material, an intensity-dependent refraction index can be observed in the medium.…”
