Abstract

The present work aims to study of third-order nonlinear optical (TONLO) behavior of basic violet 3 dye dissolved in polar protic and aprotic solvents, namely, ethanol, 1-propanol, acetone and dimethyl sulfonate (DMSO), respectively. The polarity of the solvent used to have a substantial impact on the linear and TONLO properties of the dye sample. The dye exhibits self-defocusing nonlinearity due to thermally induced nonlinear refractive index and nonlinear absorption coefficient reveals the character of both saturable and reverse saturable absorption (RSA). The order of magnitude of nonlinear refractive index (n2) and nonlinear coefficient of absorption (β) of dye sample was determined to be 10–7 cm2/W and 10–3 cm/W, respectively. The real and imaginary factors of the TONLO susceptibility of basic violet 3 dye were measured to be the power of 10–5 esu. The obtained results reveal that the dye sample seems to have the potential candidate for use in various photonics and optoelectronics applications.
