dc.description.abstract |
In line with the renewed interest in developing novel Non Linear Optical (NLO) materials, natural Lycopene’s NLO Properties are reported for the first time within the scientific literature. Correlated to its 1-D conjugated p-electrons linear conformation, it is shown that natural Lycopene exhibits a significantly elevated 3rd order nonlinearity (3) as high as 2.65 10-6 esu, the largest value of any investigated natural phyto-compound so far, including ß-carotene. In addition to a saturable absorption, the corresponding observed self-defocusing effect in Lycopene seems to be the result of a thermal nonlinearity. The nonlinear response coupled to the observed fluorescence in the Visible spectral range points to a potential photodynamic therapy application as well as the possibility of engineering of novel hybrid Lycopene based NLO nano-materials. |
