Abstract
We present our results on nonlinear optical (NLO) of chicago sky blue 6B doped polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) film. This film was studied at 633 nm and 532 nm using a continuous wave laser. We have evaluated the sign and magnitude of the third-order nonlinearity from the closed aperture Z-scan data while the nonlinear absorption properties were assessed using the open aperture data. The chicago sky blue 6B doped PVA film exhibited nonlinear saturated absorption and strong self-defocusing effect. The limiting effect of the sample was studied and the results indicate that the film possesses good characteristic of optical limiting.
