Generally, the organometallic complexes rich in carbon and containing π-conjugated chains are materials interesting for the study of electronic transfer processes. Currently, the ruthenium–acetylide organometallic complexes form part of the most studied organometallic compounds in nonlinear optics. In this work, we highlight the nonlinear optical properties and the photo-induced structure of new organometallic complexes containing a ruthenium–acetylide donor fragment able to compete with the strongest organic donors. We determine, using various experimental techniques (degenerate four-wave mixing, second and third harmonic generation), the influence of the functionalization of these molecular structures on the improvement of their second-and third-order nonlinear optical properties exploiting in particular the nature of the acceptor fragment and the π-conjugated transmitter. Also we present the dynamics of formation of photo-induced surface relief gratings using a transmission holographic technique and the atomic force microscopy on ruthenium–acetylide complexes containing an azobenzene fragment.

In this paper, a new 3D roughness parameter, Sreg, is proposed to quantify the regularity of a surface, independent of the amplitude and the scanning length units of the surface. The efficiency of this parameter is tested on noisy periodical surfaces with degrees of anisotropy. This parameter lies between zero (perfect noise) and 100% (a perfect periodic surface). This parameter enables the identification of the anisotropy directions of regularity for a given surface. For a periodical surface, the greater the noise, the lower the anisotropy. A direction function is proposed to analyse the direction of regularity of a rough surface, which then permits characterization of the directional regularity of the topography. The regularity parameter can be used for several purposes: to identify the direction of periodical structures formed by laser-pulsed radiations on the surface of solid workpieces; to examine the reproducibility of surface machining methods such as finishing process; and to identify the surface regularity produced by abrasive machining, such as precision surface grain, abrasive slotting, and lapping.
