Nonlinear optical properties of Azo compound synthesized via diazonation reaction using continuous wave laser beams
摘要
In the presence of nitrite and an aqueous hydrochloric acid medium, sulfadiazine is diazonated to create an azo compound. With the chemical formula (E)-4-((3- (tert-butyl)-2-hydroxy-5-methoxyphenyl) diazenyl)-N-(pyrimidin-2-yl), the compound is a synthetic benzenesulfonamide. Characterization of the azo molecule is done using mass, FTIR, and 1H and 13C NMR spectra. Azo compound structure is optimized using Density Functional Theory (DFT). This study examines the nonlinear optical (NLO) characteristics of the azo compound via the utilization of two visible, continuous wave (CW) laser beams. The nonlinear refractive index (NLRI) and the nonlinear absorption coefficient (NLAC) of the azo compound are estimated using diffraction patterns (DPs) and Z-scan and found equal to 5.38 × 10–7 cm2/W and 2.03 × 10–3 cm/W, respectively. The DPs are numerically simulated using the Fraunhofer approximation of the Fresnel-Kirchhoff integral with good accord compared to the experiment’s findings. The all-optical switching (AOS) behavior of the azo compound is examined under irradiation with 473 and 532 nm CW laser beams.
