Abstract
Abstract Growth of transparent 5-chloro-2-nitroaniline (5C2NA) crystals was achieved through the slow evaporation technique. Analysis via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed the crystalline nature of the organic crystals and revealing distinct molecular fingerprints of 5C2NA respectively. UV-VIS and Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy were employed to study the material's band gap and ground state absorption respectively. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) analysis indicated the stability of the grown crystals up to 211ºC. Dielectric measurements and Urbach plot suggested the presence of fewer defects in 5C2NA crystals. Time domain terahertz spectroscopy was utilized to observe the variation of absorption coefficient and refractive index in the terahertz frequency regime. Nonlinear optical effects such as saturable absorption (SA) and reverse saturable absorption (RSA), are pivotal in the development of all-optical logic gates. The transition between SA and RSA possesses a significant importance in optoelectronic applications. In this study, we investigate the 5C2NA crystal, revealing its ability to exhibit both SA and RSA under Z scan technique with varying pump intensities. The switching properties observed in 5C2NA can be harnessed for applications such as all-optical logic gates, rapid optical switching, optical limiting, mode storage, and more.
