Synthesis, photophysical, quantum chemical investigation, linear and non-linear optical properties of coumarin derivative: Optoelectronic and optical limiting application.

Abstract

In order to develop a new photostable, light emitting and highly efficient synthesized material to exhibit display property and non-linear optical active materials with good band gap energy, we have synthesized molecule via simple catalytic method. The photophysical property of studied molecule in various organic solvents having different polarity exhibited considerably acceptable results. The results of quantum yield, lifetime and large Stoke shift shows the compound is a good promising candidate for the laser dyes and light emitting diode color filters. The energy band gap was determined by both experimentally and theoretically which is found to be an average of 3.2 eV which is well matched to the semiconducting materials band gap. The non-linear optical absorption properties of the synthesized molecule are dissolved in suitable solvents had been investigated using Z-scan technique. We have determined the sign and magnitude of nonlinear absorption coefficient by the method of open aperture Z-scan setup using an Nd: YAG continuous wave laser at 532 nm. The open aperture Z-scan profiles clearly demonstrate the presence of reverse saturable absorption kind nonlinearity in the investigated compound and are due to the two-photon absorption. Results of the non-linear optical studies confirm that the studied compound is more latent applications for optical limiting in continuous wave regime. Further, the optoelectronic properties were investigated the international commission on illumination, color rendering index, color purity, and correlated color temperature is results of the studied molecule in all studied solvents revels that this compound exhibits blue to cyan color and is suitable for organic light emitting diode which can be preferably used for daylight applications.
