Seminar: “Cubic nonlinearity of
organic molecules: the properties and methodologies”, Kenji Kamada
CREOL 102
Thursday, August 9, 2012 / 11-12pm
Kenji Kamada
AIST, Osaka
Abstract:
Overview of the real and imaginary parts of the
cubic nonlinear optical responses of organic molecular systems will be
presented. First, decomposition of the OHD-OKE response of organic
liquids into the instantaneous and causal components and the relation to the
electronic and nuclear nonlinearity is discussed with the time evolution of the
response with different pulse durations. Second, two-photon absorption
properties of several organic molecules measured by the Z-scan method and some
technical issues related the effects of induced Raman scattering and
optical-intensity distribution along Z-axis etc. are discussed.
