Abstract

This work reports the study of the second- and third-order nonlinear optical properties of two dibenzylide-neacetone derivatives: (1E,4E)-1,5-bis(4-bromophenyl)penta-1,4-dien-3-one (4-DBDBA) and (1E,4E)-1,5-bis(4-chlorophenyl)penta-1,4-dien-3-one (4-DCDBA) in dichloromethane solution. The nonlinear optical properties investigated were the first molecular hyperpolarizability and the two-photon absorption (2PA) cross-section by using the hyper-Rayleigh scattering (HRS) and Z-scan techniques respectively. The values of the first molecular hyperpolarizability obtained by HRS (beta(HRS)) were 25 x 10(-30) cm(4) statvolt(-1) for 4-DBDBA whereas for 4-DCDBA was 27 x 10(-3) cm(4) statvolt(-1). The peak value for 2PA cross-section by the spectral measurement was around 24 GM for 4-DBDBA and 17 GM for 4-DCDBA. In addition, quantum chemical calculations were performed to support the interpretation from experimental results.RS (AU)
