Abstract
The nonlinear refractive indexesn 2 for the ethanol solutions of 1, 10-phenanthroline (2.0 × 10−3 mol · L−1), [bis(l, 10-phenanthroline) lanthanum (III)] nitrate (1.0 × 10−3 mol · L−1), and [nitrato-fluoracil-bis (1, 10-phenanthroline) lanthanum (III) ] nitrate (1.0 × 10−3 mol · L−1) are first measured, the third-order nonlinear optical susceptibilities χ(3) and 〈γ〉 are calculated, and the mechanisms of the third-order optical nonlinearities enhanced by lanthanum (III) are discussed preliminarily.
