Abstract

Pure Poly (methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) polymer film and Celestin Blue B dye doped polymer films at different concentrations were prepared using casting technique. UV - Vis spectra were recorded to characterize the optical properties of the Celestin Blue B dye doped PMMA polymer films. The magnitudes of both real and imaginary parts of third - order nonlinear susceptibility (χ (3)) of Celestin Blue B dye doped polymer films were determined using the z - scan technique with a continuous wave laser beam at wavelength 532 nm. The nonlinear refractive index (n2) and the nonlinear absorption coefficient (β) of the Celestin Blue B dye doped polymer films were calculated. It was found that the prepared films exhibited saturable absorption (SA) and self - defocusing effect. The optical power limiting behavior also investigated for Celestin Blue B dye doped PMMA polymer films at different concentrations and the optical power limiting threshold values were determined. Results indicate that the Celestin Blue B dye doped PMMA polymer film is a promising material for future photonic device applications.
