Abstract
Nonlinear optical properties have been studied in C60 and C70-doped organic thin films (polyimide, 2-cyclooctylamino-5-nitropyridine, N-(4-nitrophenyl)-(L)-prolinol) and in the liquid crystal compounds based on them under a laser irradiation at wavelengths of 532, 805, and 1315 nm. The films can be applied as laser power attenuators at the laser energy density of more than 1.5–2 J cm-2 and at the laser energy density up to 0.8–1 J cm-2 in the visible and near infrared spectral ranges, respectively. The nonlinear refraction and the third order susceptibility have been determined to be n 2∼10-10 cm2W-1 and χ(3) ∼10-9 esu for the thin fullerene-doped films and n 2∼ 10-9 cm2W-1 and χ(3) ∼10-8 esu for polymer-dispersed liquid crystal compounds.
