1. Introduction: Rose Bengal (RB) is a Xanthene type dye with a high quantum yield and triplet state formed, [1,2]. RB is active in the visible region with high absorption, which makes it suitable for the

PT

study of linear and nonlinear optical properties. The singlet oxygen (1O2) produces under illumination of RB which is known to Photodynamic therapy (PDT) that in PDT, cancer is

RI

killed by singlet oxygen [3].

SC

The scope of PDT could be using materials that can absorb light in lower energy and produce singlet oxygen, because the light with lower energy can provide deep penetration in tissue

NU

[4,5]. Usually, the synthesis of materials that absorb light in the low energy of light are

MA

difficult. One way is to produce materials with strong two-photon absorption (2PA) [6,7]. RB has application in ophthalmology, waste water treatment, while being due to quantum yield, good solubility in water and active in the visible region.

PT E

D

In the Xanthene family, the red shift in fluorescence spectra depends on increasing the number of the halogen group in molecular structure. The heavier halogens change the rate of intersystem crossing of the dye, which is an important scale for a photosensitizer. For this

CE

reason, rose Bengal is more efficient than other Xanthene molecules [8,9].

AC

Because of dye aggregation, most photosensitizer's molecules have low emission quantum yields and poor solubility in aqueous solutions. Usually, these effects reduced generation of 1O2 that it can affect the PDT. One way in the reduction of dye aggregation deals with the use of dye in nano-particles or nano-droplets. It is easy to change nanomaterials size and optimize the ratio of surface to volume in having higher fluorescence quantum yields or better optical properties. The absorption of two photons with the same or different frequency in order to excite from ground to excited state is called two-photon absorption (2PA). 2PA can excite dye by lower energy or higher wavelength. The higher wavelength can influence 2

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT the depth of tissue. In the PDT two parameters are important firstly increase of 2PA and secondly increase of fluorescence of dye or photosensitizer.

By z-scan technique, 2PA of different molecules have been characterized. The z-scan technique is the way to find nonlinear optic of materials [10,11]. One way for reduction of

PT

aggregation and increase of fluorescence intensity is mixed dye with surfactants or microemulsion. The microemulsion (MEs) are a mixture of water, oil and surfactant which

RI

are stable and transparent. The AOT is an anionic surfactant that AOT MEs is an ionic liquid

SC

[12,13]. The mixture of AOT/Water/Hexane and AOT/Water/Heptane was studied in several works [14-16]. In this works, the Microemulsion prepared AOT surfactant and Heptane and

NU

Hexane with X=3 and 8 are spherical droplet, [14-16]. From the previous studied the

MA

water/AOT/oil (Oils are Heptane and Hexane), with increasing water to the surfactant molar ratio (X), the three different phases (monomeric, transient and oligomeric phase) appear for

D

microemulsion, [14] that the microemulsion with X≤8 have a monomeric phase.[14] The

microemulsion in this phase is optically transparent without turbidity. In our samples, the AOT/Water/Oil/Rose Begnal is optically transparent without any turbidity.

In this paper, the effect of solvents (water, ethanol and methanol), surfactant (Bis(2ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate sodium salt) and MEs on 2PA and dipole moment of Rose Bengal

(RB) dyes was studied by Z scan instrument. By quantum perturbation theory[17,18], dipole moment of Rose Bengal was extracted in MEs. The main points of this work is to find a method for enhancement of NLO properties of RB, because of application in PDT. For this reason, the NLO properties of RB with three types of solutions were studied. (a) The effect of polarity of solvent (water, ethanol and methanol) on NLO properties of Rose Bengal. (b) The effect of AOT surfactant and the micelle on NLO properties of RB that from our knowledge it was not studied before. (c) The effect of electro-static interaction of the droplet on

In the MEs, the size of droplet defined by the molar ratio of water to surfactant (X) and the droplet concentration in MEs can control by mass fraction. It is very interesting to see what is the effect of droplet concentration in 2PA or the nonlinear refractive index at constant dye concentration. We have

proven in this work, that by the increase of droplet concentration 2PA of RB enhancement at

constant dye concentration. So, the electro-static interaction between droplets can change

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT The n2, ß, χR and γR for the Rose Bengal solutions were done using Z-scan techniques and the data was analyzed by equations 1-6 and the result are presented in the Table 1. The nonlinear absorption coefficient, ß, was observed of the order of 10-8cm2/W in higher dye concentration. The n2, was observed in the order of 10-12cm2/W in lower dye concentration. The ß and n2 as a function of dye concentration is presented in the figure 2 (a and b). The

PT

NLO value of RB in methanol and ethanol was observed in lower dye concentration than

aqueous solutions of RB. At the same value of dye concentration the nonlinear optical

parameters of ethanol and methanol are higher that water. Moreover, the γR and χR depends

on the dye concentration in solution. In general, the cross section of 2PA is defined as [23,24]

Here a0, c0 , α, g(ω) and Γf are the radius of Bohr, the speed of light, a constant, the profile of

δ2PA=24[2(μe-μg) μge/ωf]2

(8)

Where μge , μe , μg and ωf are the dipole moment of the transition, excited state, ground state

CE

and different between the energy of the excited and ground state, respectively. Equations 7 and 8 show the 2PA are related to the dipole moment of molecular. In general, the dipole

AC

moment of molecule change with the medium polarity, [25]. So, the change of 2PA with solvent is due to change of dipole moment. From quantum perturbation theory and solvent effect, [25], the medium with higher polarity produces an external field that it can reduce the ground state dipole moment of molecule. So, the 2PA in water less than other solvent because the aqueous solutions of RB, have smaller ground state dipole moment. In general, the type of dye aggregation is another reason for change of dipole moment. A previous studied shows

7

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT that the RB forms H-type aggregates in water, ethanol and methanol, [26]. So, the 2PA value or the dipole moment of RB in solution is not depends on the type of dye aggregation.

The surfactant and micelle formation can change the optical properties of dye molecules [27,28,29,30]. For this reason, the mixture of RB in a solution of water-AOT was studied by Z-Scan. For study the effect of AOT on the 2PA of Rose Bengal dye molecules, three concentrations of AOT (1, 2 and 4mM) are prepared in a different dye concentration (between 0.004-0.01mM). The open aperture of three AOT concentrations is presented in fig. 3 (a) CAOT=1mM, fig. 3 (b) CAOT=2mM and fig. 3 (c) CAOT=4mM. The 2PA of RB-AOTWater is presented in table 2. The 2PA increase with addition of AOT concentration in AOTWater solutions. It is well known that the critical micelle concentration of AOT is 2mM and 8

The n2 versus dye concentration is displayed in the figure 6. The results show at the same dye

concentration, the value of n2 at X=8 is higher than X=3. So, the nonlinear refractive index depends on structure formation of MEs. It is well known that the nonlinear refractive index produce by thermal effects [31,32]. So, the thermal effect in MEs depends on structure formation of structure formation of MEs (molar ratio or size). The ß versus of mass fraction at constant RB concentration is presented in the figure 7. The results indicated that the 2PA, increase with addition of droplet concentration (mass fraction). It is well known that the number of droplet can change the interaction between droplets [33,34,35]. So, the interaction between droplets can affect the NLO parameters. The ß and n2 10

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT as a function of the dielectric constant of bulk solution at a constant dye concentration (Cday=0.1mM for 2PA and Cday=0. 005mM for n2) is presented in the figure 8. In the case of RB-MEs solutions, the oil was considered as the bulk. The results indicated that ß and n2 reduce with the increase of dielectric constant. From our results, the NLO parameters of RB depend on the dielectric constant of solution,

molecules. For this reason, the theory was applied to find the dipole moment of RB-MEs. The

absorption of RB-MEs for preparing samples shows a broad peak at 557.6nm, fig. 9. The fluorescence spectra of RB-MEs at different droplet concentrations (mf=0. 04–0.3) at two

The relation between absorption and fluorescence spectra can be described by the following

equations [36,37].

(11)

For studied the polarity of solutions, the Raman spectra was used. The Raman Spectra of Rose Bengal/AOT/Water/Hexane at X=3 and mf=0. 04 shows in fig. 11 (a) and Raman Spectra of Rose Bengal/AOT/Water/Hexane at X=8 and mf=0. 07 shows in fig. 11 (b).

ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT The fluorescence spectrum of Rhodamine B (RhB) and Fluorescein sodium salt (FSS) in a water to oil MEs was studied before, [38]. The fluorescence of RhB is higher than FSS that it is due to the reduction aggregation of RhB inside of MEs, [38]. Probably, The Rose Bengal aggregation in MEs reduce by change of formation of MEs (Molar ratio and mass fraction) and it can change the fluorescence intensity and dipole moment of RB.

fraction of droplet can affect the NLO parameters. The 2PA of RB was enhanced by MEs that it makes suitable system of Photodynamic therapy. The ratio of the dipole moment of the

CE

Rose Bengal molecule in MEs was investigated by quantum perturbation theory. Moreover,

the fluorescence intensity of RB depends on the oil type and droplet size.
