Abstract

Polydiacetylene microcrystals in a water suspension or a polymer matrix were prepared by a simple precipitation procedure in order to obtain a thin samples with good optical quality maintaining the characteristics of crystalline materials. The nonlinear refraction, n₂, and nonlinear absorption, ß, around the exciton peak were measured by z-scan method using a tunable picosecond laser. The signs of the n₂ are positive/negative at wavelengths shorter/longer than the exciton peak and strong saturable absorption, which ß is negative, are observed around the peak. The largest n₂ was obtained to be plus 0.024 cm²/GW (Re _?⁽³⁾ = +1.4 × 10^-9 esu) at 640 nm for a gelatin composite film containing 24 wt percent of polydiacetylene microcrystals. ©2005 Copyright SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering.
