Popis: Carbon based nanomaterials can effectively be doped to tailor their electronic and optical properties for various applications. In this work, we have synthesized and characterized the o-phenylenediamine doped graphene (G-f-OPD) to study the charge transfer with a standard laser dye rhodamine 6G (R6G). A comparison with pristine graphene shows that the static quenching efficiency of the graphene is 25 times higher than that of the G-f-OPD. Time-resolved measurements reveal the absence of dynamic quenching of the dye in presence of graphene and its nitrogen doped derivative. Nonlinear optical characterization of G-f-OPD has also been done in presence of R6G by degenerate four wave mixing (DFWM) technique. The measured values of third order optical nonlinearity ( χ ( 3 ) ) reveals the fact that the dominant contribution to the optical nonlinearity is due to its real part at the probe wavelength (532 nm). Furthermore, the nonlinear optical study by Z-Scan technique shows that G-f-OPD-R6G composite can be suitable for passive mode-locking applications.
