A new series of (E)-1-(4-substituted)-3-(4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl) prop-2-en-1-one compounds have been synthesized by Claisen-Schmidt condensation reaction. Nonlinear optical characterization were carried out using z-scan technique with nanosecond pulses. These samples are found to exhibit strong nonlinear absorption at 532 nm and the nonlinear absorption coefficient of these samples exponentially increases with the increase of phonon characteristic energy. This relation speaks the role of phonon in the origin of nonlinear absorption in these compounds. The reported dependence of optical nonlinearity of the chalcone derivatives on the phonon characteristic energy will help in designing similar class of new molecules with high nonlinear coefficients.
