Abstract
An ultrathin nanoscopic multilayer film has been fabricated through the electrostatic layer-by-layer self-assembly of negatively charged 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3,4,5-trihydroxyphenyl)porphyrin (DHP) and oppositely charged polyethylenimine (PEI). UV-vis spectra showed a continuous and uniform deposition process of PEI and DHP. The film structure was characterized by small-angle X-ray diffraction measurement and AFM images. The nonlinear optical properties of ultrathin film were studied by Z-scan technique with laser duration of 8 ns at a wavelength of 532 nm. The film sample exhibited strong nonlinear saturated absorption and a self-defocusing effect. The nonlinear absorption coefficient and refractive index of the self-assembly ultrathin film are -9.7 x 10(-5) m/W and -7.56 x 10(-12) m(2)/W, respectively.
