Abstract

In this study, we aim to explore the chemical and physical properties of Brilliant Green Dye (BGD) that make it a functional material in interesting optical devices such as nonlinear optical and photovoltaic applications. For that, experimental spectroscopies, Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) and Raman are used to conduct and discuss the modes of vibration of the groups existing in BGD, this experimental study is compared to the theoretical one. All absorption peaks observed in the UV–Visible spectrum confirm the composition of the developed BGD. A weak optical band gap not exceeding 2.06 eV of BGD was recorded. The DOS spectrum yields the fundamental bad gap 2.19 eV. BGD presented a weak exciton binding energy (130 meV), and a high optical conductivity (\(14.67\times {10}^{7} {{\text{s}}}^{-1}\)). Also, an interesting value of nonlinear optical parameters are demonstrated. Additionally, electrical measurements are made while the BGD-based diode is illuminated in the dark. It is investigated how the BGD conducts under light and dark conditions. The result of the present study provides a flexible and simple fabrication process for new material with electric, linear and nonlinear optical properties that make them good candidate for application in an optoelectronic device in the future.
