Abstract
The ultrafast third-order nonlinear optical properties of an azobenzene-containing ionic liquid crystalline polymer were investigated by optical Kerr effect (OKE) and pump-probe techniques with femtosecond pulses. The third-order nonlinear optical susceptibility of the sample solution was obtained to be 2.1Â ÃÂ 10â14Â esu at a concentration of 2Â ÃÂ 10â3Â M. The temporal response of the sample solution was decomposed into two components, which could be explained by the relaxation of different singlet excited states. The polymer thin film exhibited strong ultrafast nonlinear optical response of 8.26Â ÃÂ 10â10Â esu and show its potential applications for further nonlinear optical devices.
