Abstract
An ultrathin composite films containing cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc) and poly(diallydimethyl ammonium chloride) (PDDA) were fabricated through layer-by-layer assembly technique. The resulting films were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. Their third-order nonlinear optical properties and photo-excitation dynamics were investigated with 20 ps laser pulses at 532 nm. The results demonstrate that the ultrathin films have notable third order optical nonlinearities (χ(3)∼4.7 × 10−9 (esu)) and fast excited-state relaxation (τ∼67 ± 6 ps), indicating their potential applications in future nonlinear optical devices.
