Abstract:
Thermal lens signals in solutions of rhodamine B laser dye in methanol are
measured using the dual beam pump-probe technique. The nature of variations of signal
strength with concentration is found to be different for 514 and 488 nm Ar + laser excitations.
However, both the pump wavelengths produce an oscillatory type variation of thermal lens
signal amplitude with the concentration of the dye solution. Probable reasons for this peculiar
behaviour (which is absent in the case of fluorescent intensity) are mentioned.

Abstract:
A sensitive method based on the principle of photothermal phenomena to realize optical
logic gates is presented. A dual beam thermal lens method using low power cw lasers in a
dye-doped polymer can be very effectively used as an alternate technique to perform the
logical function such as NAND, AND and OR.

Abstract:
Two-photon absorption spectrum of aniline is recorded using thermal lens effect with
optical parametric oscillator as the pump source. Studies show that the two-photon
absorption spectrum observed corresponds to I Al -. I B2 transition of aniline.

Abstract:
A sensitive method based on the principle of photothermal phenomena to study the energy transfer processes in organic dye mixtures is presented. A dual beam thermal lens method can be very effectively used as an alternate technique to determine the molecular distance between donor and acceptor in fluorescein–rhodamine B mixture using optical parametric oscillator.

Abstract:
The wavelength dependence of thermal lens signal from organic dyes are studied using dual beam thermal lens
technique. It is found that the profile of thermal lens spectrum widely differ from the conventional absorption spectrum
in the case of rhodamine B unlike in the case of crystal violet. This is explained on the basis of varying contribution of
nonradiative relaxations from the excited vibronic levels.

Abstract:
The effect of pH on the fluorescence efficiency of fluorescein is evaluated using thermal lens technique. Fluorescence efficiency increases as the
sample becomes more and more alkaline. But when fluorescein is mixed with rhodamine B fluorescence quenching of fluorescein takes place with
the excitation of rhodamine B. The electronic energy transfer in this mixture is investigated using Optical Parametric Oscillator as the excitation
source. The effect of pH on the efficiency of energy transfer in fluorescein–rhodamine B mixture is presented.
