The nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of conjugated azo-based iminopyridine complexes with zinc and silver metal cations were studied. The processes of second and third harmonic generations in guest-host polymeric films were investigated and NLO parameters were extracted. Obtained second and third order NLO susceptibilities of zinc containing complex exceeds the latter of silver containing one. Using the Z-scan technique the NLO refractive index, NLO absorption coefficient, second order hyperpolarizability and NLO absorption cross section for the azo-based iminopyridine zinc (II) and silver (I) complexes were obtained and analyzed. Estimated nonlinearity/loss figure of merit of these complexes show promise for optical device applications. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
