All optical switching and the optical nonlinear properties of 4-(benzothiazolyldiazenyl)-3-chlorophenyl 4-(nonylthio)benzoate (EB-3Cl)

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

“…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.…”

Synthesis, optical nonlinear properties, and all‐optical switching of curcumin analogues

“…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.…”
