Abstract

The nonlinear optics and optical limiting properties of materials based on multifunctional fullerenol and poly(styrene-co-4-vinylpyridine) matrix were studied using 7 ns pulses of nanosecond laser operating at 532 nm wavelength. The observed imaginary and real parts of third order susceptibility of the fullerenol/polymer composite are found to be lower than that of its parent C60. The optical limiting performances of fullerenol and fullerenol incorporated with poly(styrene-co-4-vinylpyridine) have been proved to be poorer than that of C60 due to their higher limiting thresholds. Concentration dependence of poly(styrene-co-4-vinylpyridine) containing 32 mol% has been mainly contributed to the optical limiting performance of fullerenol.
