Abstract

We report the third-order nonlinear optical properties of organic thin films of Imine derivatives doped Poly (methylmethacrylate). Z-scan techniques with 7ns Nd: YAG laser pulses at 532 nm were employed for the measurements. The effect of guest/host concentration on nonlinear absorption has been studied. The compounds exhibited good optical limiting as well. The present works indicate that these materials are promising candidates for photonics applications..

Keywords
