Coumarin 4 Laser dye/PVP Polymer/Al2O3 Nanoparticle Thin Films Induced by Er: YAG Laser Radiation

Abstract

In this paper, thin films were made of 10-4 mol/l of Coumarin 4 laser dye dissolved in ethanol, 0.3 g of PVP polymer and 0.04 g of Al2O3 nanoparticles. The electrical properties such as dielectric constant, phase velocity of laser photons inside the film, the film permittivity and permeability, medium impedance, electrical conductivity, skin depth, the electrical response time, magnetic susceptibility and dielectric time have been studied for the prepared thin films at two different Er:YAG laser wavelengths of 1645nm and 1617 nm based on various laser powers in one time and with changed laser exposure periods in the other time. It is observed that the highest laser power consolidates each value of dielectric constant, dielectric time, electrical conductivity, the electrical response time, magnetic susceptibility and the permeability of film because of increasing the abundant energy in films within laser irradiation. The most important conclusion is that the electrical properties were much higher for the prepared thin films irradiated with 1645nm Er: YAG laser wavelength than for those irradiated with 1617nm laser wavelength.
