Synthesis, Spectral, Solvent Dependent Linear and Nonlinear Optical Characteristics of (E)-N-(3-(3-(4(dimethylamino)phenyl)acryloyl) phenyl)quinolone-2-carboxamide

This paper presents the synthesis of novel organic compound (E)-N-(3-(3-(4(dimethylamino)phenyl)acryloyl)phenyl)quinolone-2-carboxamide, also known as Quinolinecarboxamide Chalcone (QCC) using aldol condensation and carboxamide formation method. The organic sample QCC was examined by FT-IR, H-1 NMR, C-13 NMR and mass spectroscopic techniques, respectively. Linear and third-order nonlinear optical (TNLO) properties of QCC dissolved in polar solvents such as DMSO, DMF and Ethanol have also been studied. The order of nonlinear refractive index and nonlinear absorption coefficient of QCC was measured to be 10(-11) m(2)/W and 10(-5) m/W. The nonlinear refractive index (n(2)) of QCC was attributed to negative nonlinearity due to self-defocusing effect, and nonlinear absorption coefficient (beta) indicates the behaviors of saturable absorption (SA) and reverse saturable absorption (RSA). The real and imaginary features of the TNLO susceptibility (chi((3))) of QCC in polar solvents were calculated to be the order of 10(7) esu. The spectral characteristics of solvent on TNLO susceptibility of QCC were discussed. The results divulged that the synthesized organic compound is a novel nonlinear optical (NLO) material for applications in photonics and optoelectronics.
