We report the experimental and theoretical study of the diffraction patterns (DPs) and thermal properties of Sudan III. DPs are used in the calculation of the Sudan III nonlinear refractive index (NLRI), . As high as = 7.69 ×10-6 cm2/W is obtained. The study of the Sudan III thermal conductivity, TC, shows the reduction of the TC against the increase of the Sudan III temperature. The property, all-optical switching (AOS), is studied in details, both static and dynamic ones, using two, cw, visible, single mode laser beams of wavelengths 473 and 635 nm.
Keywords: All-optical switching; Diffraction patterns; Nonlinear optical properties; Sudan III; Thermal properties.
