Abstract
Abstract: This research focuses on PVC/TiO2 nanocomposites in the form of thin films in order to expand our understanding of photonics technology. For fabrication of the thin films, the casting method was used with nanocomposites composite were developed by mixing TiO2 nanoparticles with Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) as the polymer matrix. The absorbance parameters were determined using spectral analysis, and the linear absorption coefficient was computed. A single beam Z-scan technique was used to evaluate the nonlinear refractive index and nonlinear absorption coefficient via a CW diode pumped solid state (DPSS) laser (Coherent Verdi-V5, 532 nm) was employed as the excitation laser at 50mW. Peak absorption was detected at 280 nm with increasing absorption observed as the proportion of TiO2 nanoparticles increased. The nonlinear absorption coefficient was found at (0.5342, 1.3585,1.5999, and 0.0253) 1ݔ 10−5 cm/W. All of the sample morphology resulting poor structure which then affect the NLO absorption of the materials. However, with the positive value of NLO absorption, they appear to be promising candidates for optical limiting applications.
