Simultaneous two and three photon resonant enhancement of third-order NLO susceptibility in an azo-dye functionalized polymer film

Abstract

We report the observation of simultaneous two and three photon resonances, enhancing the third-order NLO susceptibility in a thin film of an azo-dye polymer. The possibility of 2–3 orders of magnitude increase in χ(3) susceptibility is sustained by quantum mechanical calculations. This improves the applications of azo-polymers in all optical signal processing as well as in nonlinear optical imaging.
