CHAPTER-4
Z-SCAN CONSTRUCTION AND STUDIES ON NONLINEARABSORPTION AND NONLINEAR REFRACTIVE INDEX OF
MALONONITRILE DERIVATIVE CRYSTALS FOR OPTICALSWITCHING APPLICATION
4.1. INTRODUCTION
The demand of internet services is driving the growth of data traffic worldwide.
In every 6 to 12 months, doubling the usage of bandwidth in the internet due to the
data based networks. The development of science and technology in various
disciplines search of new materials are highly relevant area in research. Recently
much attention has paid to control the laser through changing the material structural
properties. In the recent years, third harmonic generation crystals are of interest due to
their attractive properties in the field of optoelectronics.
A promising mechanism of all-optical switching is the Mach Zehnder
interferometer type which required new materials based on low nonlinear absorption
(NLA) and strong nonlinear refractive index (NLRI) (Boudebs et al; 2001).
Nowadays, the fast growth of wavelength- division multiplexing (WDM) interconnect
networks has attracted increasing interest in optical switches and optical amplifiers
(Ben Yoo et al; 2006). The optical switches support new light paths in optical cross
connections (OXCs) (Papadimitriou et al; 2003). There are large third-order nonlinear
response pi-electron conjugated organic materials, such as cyanine dyes, carotenoids,
porphyrins and polymers.
The significant role of optical switches in network nodes is to provide the
fastest response in optical circuits. The response times in optical switches in circuits
are comfortable in few milliseconds. However, optical packet switching requires
response time of nanoseconds and picoseconds. The use of third order optical
nonlinearity for all optical signal processing has been a goal for many years. Many
research articles have reported about third order nonlinear susceptibility of organic
material followed by the report on poly [2,4-hexadiyne-1,6-diol-bis-p-toluene-
sulfonate] in 1976 (Sauteret;1976).The organic materials like phthalocyanines and its
derivatives in 1989 (Mathews;2007), organic metallic compounds (Sun;1970), large
nonlinear refractive index change in 4- N,N-dimethylamino-3-acetamidonitrobenzene
(DAN) (Kim;1993), fullerencies (Venugopal Rao;1998) has undergone wide

investigation with respect to spectroscopic and structural properties. Similarly,
malononitrile crystals are showing the superior properties for third harmonic
application.
There are two types of optical switches the opto-electro-opto (OEO) and all
optical switches. The material requirements for all optical switches, which have to be
met are W>1 and T<1. These two figures of merit are defined as W=n2I/ (αλ) and
T=βλ/n2, where n2 is the NLRI, α is the linear absorption coefficient, β is the NLA
coefficient, λ is the wavelength, and I is the light irradiance (Wang; 2011). The high
ratio of real and imaginary part of nonlinear susceptibility Re (χ(3))/Im(χ(3)) is
necessary for efficient optical switching (Kuzyk; 1998). The key components of next
generation broadband devices are ultrafast optical switching devices. The materials
with low linear and nonlinear losses are required to implement the optical switching
devices. During the past few years, there have been big improvements in photonic
crystal technology. Eventhough further work is required to satisfy the one of the most
demanding of modern industries. In this chapter, the third-order optical nonlinearity is
described by the nonlinear refractive index, n2 (related to the third-order nonlinear
optical susceptibility (χ(3)) and nonlinear absorption(β) for all-optical switching has
been a considerable interest in condensed matter and the responsible mechanism.
4.2. THEORY OF Z-SCAN
Z-scan technique is a simple technique compared to the previous
measurements of nonlinear refraction interferometer, ellipse rotation, beam distortion
measurements, degenerate four waves mixing and three wave mixing. It is an accurate
method to determine both nonlinear absorption (NLA) and nonlinear refractive index
(NLRI) of crystals, thin films and liquid solutions developed by Shakebahae
et.al;1990. This standard method has widely accepted by nonlinear optics community
due to the simplicity of interpretation. There are two different methods to find the
nonlinear absorption and nonlinear refractive index of the materials, open aperture
and closed aperture methods respectively. Z-scan is a single beam technique for
measuring the sign and magnitude of NLRI and NLA coefficients. Nonlinear
Refractive index directly affects the phase of the propagating electric field while NLA
directly affects the amplitude. The phase and the amplitude of the applied electric
field are separated by thin sample approximation.
![Page 3: CHAPTER-4 Z-SCAN CONSTRUCTION AND STUDIES …shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/37733/4/013...102 program and simultaneously characterization readings were noted in power meter.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042303/5ecebdcd5581c4571f718ee8/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

In case of linear optics, Kramers-Kronig relations relate the real and imaginary
parts of frequency dependent quantities (linear susceptibility). It is easier to measure
an absorption spectrum than the frequency dependence of the refractive index. But in
case of nonlinear optics, these relations are useful for some nonlinear optical
interactions (Boyd; 2011).
The physical process of the nonlinear absorption and nonlinear refractive index are
due to the ultrafast bound electronic and excited state processes. The optically
induced excited states provide the response time of the material, it is given by the
characteristic peak and decay times. There are different types ultrafast processes,
namely stimulated Raman scattering, stark effect, and multiphoton absorption, (Sheik
bahae et al; 1991 and Shen et al; 1984). In case of excited state nonlinearity, the
variety of physical processes namely photochemical changes, free carrier absorption
in solids, excited state absorption in molecules and atoms, defect and colour centre
absorption and saturation of absorption (Wei et.al; 1992, Mansour et al;1998, Said et
al; 1992 and Boggess et.al; 1994). The above processes are lead to increased or
decreased transmittance based on multi-photon or saturation absorption.
Nonlinear refractive index of the material depends upon the applied electric field
intensity. The change of refractive index associated with different mechanism based
on polarisation, thermal and electronic origin, as explained in Chapter-1. The change
of refractive index of the material at the applied electric field, it may increases or
decreases compared to the periphery of the materials. The positive refractive index
refers increases of refractive index at illuminated portion and negative refractive
index refers decreases of refractive index at illuminated portion compared to the non-
illuminated parts.
4.3. Z-SCAN CONSTRUCTION
In this experiment, He-Ne laser of wavelength 632.8nm with beam diameter 0.5mm
is used to scan the sample. The Gaussian filter is used to modify the input laser beam
into Gaussian form. The single Gaussian beam TEM00 mode is allowed to pass
through the sample along Z-axis. The focal length of the convex lens is depending on
diameter of incident Gaussian beam. The convex lens of focal length 30 cm has
separated the path length into positive Z-axis and negative Z-axis. The experimental
arrangement is shown in Fig.4.1. The Gaussian beam was focused by a convex lens;
![Page 4: CHAPTER-4 Z-SCAN CONSTRUCTION AND STUDIES …shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/37733/4/013...102 program and simultaneously characterization readings were noted in power meter.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042303/5ecebdcd5581c4571f718ee8/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

to produce the beam waist of 12.26μm. The sample holder is attached with a motor
and controlled by software. The strict focusing geometry of this method is allowed to
measure the nonlinear absorption and nonlinear refraction quantity individually by
simple open and close aperture method respectively. In an open aperture method, the
refracted laser beam was collected completely in the detector (field mate coherent). In
closed aperture method, size of the aperture is reduced with respect to the diameter of
the laser beam at the aperture.
Figure 4.1: Z-scan instrument arrangement
The Rayleigh diffraction length (Zo=1.14mm) should satisfy the condition
wo2/λ > L, where L is the thickness of the sample and wo is the radius of the laser
beam at focal length. The length of sample (L) should be less than that of Rayleigh
diffraction length (Zo) (L<<Zo/ΔΦ), where ΔΦ is axis phase shift. To minimize the
phase change in Z-scan experiment, it is sufficient to change the thickness of sample
(L) L<Zo. The aperture size is an important parameter since large aperture reduces the
variations in transmittance. The magnitude and shape of transmittance depends on the
far field condition for the aperture plane d1>>Zo is satisfied. (d1 is the distance
between focal length and the aperture).

Figure.4.2. Z-scan technique in our laboratory
The aperture size of 2mm was placed between Gaussian filter and convex lens (L1).
The single Gaussian beam of diameter 2mm has been used for z-scan experiment. The
beam diameter at aperture is 7mm. As per the Rayleigh diffraction length condition,
sample should be less than 1mm. There are two different methods are approached for
extract NLRI and NLA data. The convex lens (L2) of diameter 5cm and focal length
of 50mm has been used for open aperture method to converge all the diffracted rays to
sensor. In closed aperture method, replacement of variable aperture in the place of
convex lens (L2). The variable aperture helps to decide the linear transmittance(S)
calculation; variable aperture size of maximum 1mm to 4mm. It is advisable to carry
out the open aperture method for the sample, before precede the closed aperture
method. The sensor has been connected to the digital and analogue output of the
power meter (Field mate-coherent), to characterize the nonlinear observation. Z-scan
translation stage has capable to move 70000microns, the focal length of the lens and
midpoint of the translation stage (35000micron) were placed at the same point on z-
axis. The translation stage was controlled by the z-scan software by making a simple

scan experiment is shown in Fig.4.2.
CONSTRUCTION
1. Fix the He-Ne laser on the table and mark the laser point on the wall. It helps
to construct the experiment on perfect linearity.(should not disturb the laser)
2. Gaussian filter is used to produce Gaussian beam and TEM00 mode.(In
Gaussian filter contains two adjustment screws vertical and horizontal
adjustment screws, the center of the output Gaussian beam should fall on the
marked point of wall )
3. The black paper aperture of size 2mm is placed after the Gaussian filter, to
avoid concentric circles of Gaussian. Z-scan experiment of single Gaussian
beam gives good result. Single Gaussian beam means allows the central
maximum of Gaussian beam.
4. Next to the black paper aperture, convex lens is placed (convex lens of focal
length is 30mm)
5. The Sample holder with computerized control moves along the z-axis of
70000micron. It is controlled by the z-scan software.(programmable)
6. The sample should be less than 1mm of thickness.
7. The sensor is placed exactly where the diameter of laser beam is 7mm.
8. Convex lens of 50mm is used only for open aperture to collect the refracted
He-Ne laser beams.
9. The variable aperture is used only for closed aperture method; the refracted
rays should allow the limited aperture sizes (1-to-4mm).
10. In future, it is advisable to use 15mW laser for Z-scan experiment.
4.3.1. GAUSSIAN BEAM
In conventional optics, the electromagnetic radiation is in the form of Gaussian beam
which means transverse electric field and intensity distributions are well
approximated by Gaussian function. If the laser is said to be Gaussian beam,
fundamental transverse of laser is TEM00 mode. The mathematical solution of the
Gaussian beam is in the paraxial form of Helmholtz equation.
![Page 7: CHAPTER-4 Z-SCAN CONSTRUCTION AND STUDIES …shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/10603/37733/4/013...102 program and simultaneously characterization readings were noted in power meter.](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042303/5ecebdcd5581c4571f718ee8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
103
Figure 4.3: Gaussian beam used in the z-scan experiment
The solution of Gaussian function is in the form of complex amplitude. The
electromagnetic waves are combination of electric and magnetic waves and it is
perpendicular to each other. To analyse the properties of the beam, any one of the two
fields is sufficient. The fixed solution of the spot size and the radius of the curvature
have been calculated easily in case of Gaussian beam.
Figure 4.4. Working of Gaussian filter in Z-scan experiment
In role of Gaussian filter in Z-scan technique is to convert the applied electric field
and intensity were distributed uniformly. The accuracy of the solution has been
achieved by Gaussian filter. Fig. 4.4, represents the working of the Gaussian filter.
The Fourier transform of input noise beam has high spatial frequencies, it reduced by
the pinhole for filtering frequencies. The output of the Gaussian filter is shown in
Fig.4.3.

In z-scan experiment, it is observed that the open aperture characteristic peak with
Gaussian filter and without Gaussian filter as shown in Fig.4.6 a,b.
4.3.2. OPEN APERTURE METHOD
The interaction of light with matter is changing the properties of the material
and due to the heat transfer to the irradiated material induces the optical absorption.
The nonlinear absorption coefficient (β) was evaluated directly by the Z-scan open
aperture method. The open aperture method is relatively straightforward method of
measuring the change in transmittance with respect to irradiance (I). The nonlinear
absorption of materials is arising due to multiphoton absorption or single photon
absorption. The normalized transmittance(S=1) of the open aperture shows enhanced
transmission at the focus, which means saturation of absorption at high intensity. The
closed aperture is shown in Fig.4.7. The photoinduced changes in the crystal are
caused by the formation of polarized electron-phonon states, which are responsible for
the optical absorption of the organic crystals (Wojciechowski.A et al; 2010). The
value of β is negative for saturation absorption and positive for multi photon
absorption. The imaginary part of third order susceptibility is directly proportional to
nonlinear absorption

4.3.3. CLOSED APERTURE METHOD
Figure 4.8: Closed aperture method of Z-scan technique
The nonlinear refractive index of material was evaluated by the Z-scan closed
aperture method. The sensitivity to nonlinear refraction is entirely due to the aperture.
As the sample is brought closer to focus (at focal length), the irradiance of beam
increases or decreases, depends on the material absorption and refractive index. The
optical absorption of sample at focal length changes the refractive index of the
material. The change of refractive index affects the transmittance of the sample. The
nonlinear refractive index effects are shown in Fig.4.8.The negative nonlinear
refractive index of the sample shows transmittance peak followed by transmittance
valley, similarly the positive nonlinear refractive index shows the transmittance valley
followed by transmittance peak. This technique is useful to find the sign of nonlinear
refractive index. The closed aperture method is affected by both nonlinear absorption
(β) and refractive index (n2). The nonlinear refraction separate from nonlinear

107
absorption is simply dividing the transmittance of closed aperture by the open
aperture. The real part of susceptibility is directly proportional to the nonlinear
refractive index.
4.4. THIRD ORDER NONLINEAR SUSCEPTIBILITY
The intensity dependent refractive index of material and the variation of the
refractive index as a function of the incident beam irradiance are given by
n= no+n2I, 4.4
where no is the linear index, n2 is nonlinear index of refraction, I- intensity of
irradiance laser beam within the sample. The absorption coefficient α is no longer
constant; instead it becomes a function of the extinction intensity as in the relation
α=αo+βI. 4.5
The third order susceptibility (χ3) is considered as complex quantity. The magnitude
of third order NLO susceptibility can be calculated using the formula
[Santhakumari,R.et al;2010].
χ3 = [Re (χ3) +Im (χ3)]. 4.6
The real and imaginary part of third order susceptibility can be defined as

The real part of susceptibility is directly proportional to the nonlinear refractive
index, and imaginary part of susceptibility is directly proportional to nonlinear
absorption. The nonlinear absorption and nonlinear refractive index of crystal has
measured in open and closed aperture method respectively. In closed aperture method,
on-axis phase shift is calculated from valley-peak or peak valley transmittance. The
equation of on-axis phase shift (ΔΦ) is in terms of normalized transmittance can be
defined as Sheik-bahae.et al.

The calculation of response time of material, associated with thermal
nonlinearity. For condensed matter, the refractive index can either increase or
decrease with change in temperature, depending on the internal structure of the
material. Thermal processes can lead to large and unwanted nonlinear optical effects.
The origin of thermal nonlinearity optical effect is that some fraction of the incident
laser power is absorbed while passing through an optical material. The response time
τ of crystal is associated with the change in temperature.

Where, (ρ0C) is heat capacity per unit volume, κ is thermal conductivity; r is

produced by most pulsed laser. It leads to the conclusion that the consideration of
thermal nonlinear effects. Thermal effects are usually the dominant nonlinear optical
mechanism for continuous wave laser beams. (Robert Boyd, Nonlinear optics,

Nonlinear absorption and refractive index of OH1 crystal is shown in
Fig.4.9.a,b. The positive multiphoton absorption has been observed in OH1crystal.
The calculated value of nonlinear absorption (β) is 8.2203x10-5m/W. The calculated
value of nonlinear refractive index of material is 7.490X10-12 m2/W. The third order
nonlinear susceptibility (χ3) of OH1 crystal is 5.7217x10-6esu. The measurement
details of Z-scan technique is shown in Table.4.1. The ratio of real and imaginary
susceptibility of OH1 crystal is 1.8. (Bharath et al;2014).
4.5.1. MECHANISM AND OPTICAL SWITCH CALCULATION
The mechanism of nonlinear response of crystal is due to the thermal nonlinear
optical effects. The nonlinear polarization is depending on the applied field strength.
In the same manner mechanism can be explained in terms of nonlinear susceptibility
or nonlinear refractive index. The characteristic time scale for nonlinear response of
material from the typical value based on n2 (10-11m2/W) or χ3 (m2/v2) is developed by
Boyd; 2011. As per the characteristic time scale, OH1 crystal is possibly response in
10-3 seconds for optical switching devices. Third order susceptibility of materials is
depending upon the applied intensity, if increase the intensity of laser OH1 crystal is
possible to response in nanoseconds.

pulsed laser. It leads to the conclusion that the consideration of thermal nonlinear
effects. Thermal effects are usually the dominant nonlinear optical mechanism for
continuous wave laser beams. The power or intensity is relevant quantity for
continuous laser beams, but the pulse energy Q=Pτ, where P is consequently power
P= πr2I0 and τ is the response time. The calculated pulse energy of OH1 crystal is

experiences a modified value of the refractive index because the average
polarizability per molecule has been changed by the molecular alignment. The
characteristic time scale for nonlinear response of material from the typical value
based on n2 (10-14m2/w) or χ3 (m2/v2) is developed by Boyd. If the optical
nonlinearities of material are relatively large nonlinear susceptibility 10-8esu and they
response in picoseconds time, reported by David F.Eaton. As per the characteristic
time scale MOT2 crystal is possibly response in picoseconds (10-12) time for optical
switching devices. The approximate response time of MOT2 crystal is 10-8 to10-12 s.

shown in Fig [4.11a]. The photoinduced changes in the OE1 crystal are caused by the
formation of polarized electron-phonon states, which are responsible for the optical

Second harmonic generation of OH1 compound, it is reported by Hunziker et

effects cancel each other as explained in Chapter.1 (1.6). In special cases, some of the
crystal will exhibit both the second and third harmonic generation, like OE1. Second
harmonic generation (SHG) measurements have been carried out as per the Kurtz
Perry powder technique with Q-switched Nd-YAG laser at a wavelength 1064nm
(8ns, 10Hz). Powdered KDP crystal was used as reference material in the SHG
measurement. OE1 crystal is powdered and filled in microcapillary tube (diameter-
1.5mm). The size of the OE1 particle is measured through powder XRD experiment.
The crystalline size of OE1 particle is 9.014μm and it is measured using the Scherer

Where, full width half maximum (FWHM) is 0.1579 and 2θ is 25.946.The
size of the powder KDP particle is 1.025 μm. The input incident laser energy for OE1
and KDP powdered sample is 1.8mJ. The sample OE1 produces 2.3mV while KDP
exibit 8.8mV. Eventhough OE1 is centrosymmetry, it exhibits SHG signal 26% of that
of KDP. Powder XRD is shown in Chapter.2 (2.33b). The transparency of crystal is
starts only at 525nm onwards; due to the absoprtion green efficiency is lesser than
KDP. Due to local molecular disordering and the excitation of anharmonic phonons
described by third rank polar tensors there occurs a possibility to observe the SHG.
SHG effect may possibly higher at optical communication region (IR).

4.13. CONCLUSION
Figure 4.15: Nonlinear characteristic of malononitrile derivative crystal
In Fig.4.15.shows the OH1 and Cl1 are showing the self-focussing effect and
MOT2, Br1, OE1, 3E4HM crystals were showing self-defocusing effects. In open
aperture method, OH1 and MOT2 crystals are showing minimum transmittance due to
multiphoton absorption. Cl1, Br1, OE1 and 3E4HM were showing maximum
transmittance due to saturation of absorption. The variation of transmittance is
depends on internal structure of materials. The change of nonlinear refractive index
and absorption were due to thermal nonlinear optical effects in organic crystals. The
optical illumination on crystals leads to increase in temperature than its periphery.
The temperature change has been calculated approximately, represented as thermo
optic coefficient. Thermo-optic coefficient of the crystals is coming around 10-5K.
The mechanism of the nonlinear optical effects is depends on the intensity of laser.
There are many mechanisms in nonlinear optical change but the limitation of laser
energy allows the thermal nonlinear effects in crystal.
Z-scan experiment has been constructed and nonlinear refractive index;
nonlinear absorption and third order nonlinear susceptibility have been calculated for
malononitrile derivative crystal. One photon and two photon figure of merit have been
studied for optical switch application. The optical response time of the crystals were
calculated. The limitation of laser energy allows calculating the thermal nonlinearity
of these materials. Malononitrile derivative materials are response in milliseconds at
lower intensity. There is a possibility of response of all the malononitrile derivative
