Abstract
The possibility of controlling third-harmonic generation in polymethylmethacrylate doped with disperse red 1 via exposition by frequency-doubled and fundamental radiation of a Nd:YAG laser is demonstrated. It was possible to change the third-harmonic efficiency up to four times depending on pumping intensity. The change was completely reversible after 15 min of dark relaxation in the case of pumping the sample with the second harmonic. This effect is attributed to the reversible change of third-order susceptibility due to trans-to-cis isomerization of azo-bond molecules.
