The third-order nonlinear optical properties of chalcone derivatives have been studied using the single beam Z-scan technique. The dependence of x((3)) on different donor and acceptor type substituents demonstrates the electronic nonlinearity of compounds. The largest value of nonlinear refractive index, n(2), measured for a high electron donor substituted molecule is -2.033 x 10(-11) esu. These molecules exhibit a strong two-photon absorption and interesting optical limiting of nanosecond laser pulses at 532 nm. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
