Abstract

Third-order nonlinear optical properties of aqueous solutions of methylene blue dye with different concentrations were studied by Z─scan technique. The magnitude of nonlinear refractive index (n2), nonlinear absorption coefficient (β) and thirdorder nonlinear optical susceptibility (χ (3)) were found to be the order of 10–7 cm2 /W, 10–2 cm/W and 10–5 esu, respectively. The dye sample possesses a large negative nonlinear index of refraction due to self-defocusing phenomena and saturable absorption behavior with significant nonlinear absorption coefficient. The experimental results revealed that the dye sample studied here may be a potential material for future photonics and optoelectronics applications.
