Abstract
Third-order nonlinear susceptibility χ(3) and second-order hyperpolarizability γ of poly{[3-octylthiophene-2,5-diyl]-[p-aminobenzylidenequinomethane]-bonded multiwalled carbon nanotubes (POTABQ-MWNTs) were measured in chloroform solution using degenerate four-wave mixing at 532nm under nanosecond pulse excitation. Effective nonlinear absorption coefficient βeff and nonlinear refraction index n2 were obtained using open aperture and close aperture Z-scan technique at the same wavelength, respectively. Optical limiting property of the sample was also investigated. The resulting POTABQ-MWNTs exhibited large third-order nonlinear optical responses mainly due to the formation of intramolecular photoinduced charge-transfer system of polymers and carbon nanotubes.
