Nonlinear optical response and reverse saturable absorption behavior of various rare earth phthalocyanines such as Nd , Eu , Sm and La in dimethyl formamide (DMF) solution were studied under high power Nd:YAG laser excitation. Excited state absorption cross-sections and two-photon absorption cross-sections of these systems are measured from the limiting characteristics. The SmHPc 2 system yields maximum value for excited state absorption cross-section and its potential application in DMF as a suitable optical limiter is also discussed.

AbstractPhthalocyanines (PC's) containing heavy metal central atoms have recently been recognized as leading candidates for reverse saturable absorption and optical limiting (OL) applications in the visible spectrum. Strong triplet excited state absorption brought about by a large intersystem crossing rate is responsible for the excellent limiting performance of these molecules. Moreover, devices which maximize the excited state population along the light path will demonstrate maximum limiting efficiency. A non-homogeneous distribution of indium tetra(tert-butyl) phthalocyanine chloride (InC1PC) has been shown to be very effective in attenuating 532 nm nanosecond laser pulses. This was accomplished by approximating a hyperbolic distribution of chromophores using discrete elements of fixed dye concentration. Greater OL should be achieved by fabricating materials containing a continuous concentration gradient of chromophore. This paper focuses on issues concerning the preparation of solid polymeric materials that contain such a chromophore gradient. This design is achieved by diffusing chromophore-containing solutions into partially polymerized poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA).

AbstractDuring the past five years there has been considerable progress in the design of organic materials for optical power limiting (OPL) applications. One of the more promising and widely studied material approaches involves reverse saturable absorption (RSA) from various excited states. We have recently been examining the efficacy of utilizing highly absorbing photogenerated charge states for RSA. Both polaronic radical cations and bipolaronic dications are possible candidates for this mode of optical limiting. Equally intriguing are new approaches to designing chromophores with large two-photon absorption (TPA) cross-sections. For some pulse durations the effective two-photon cross-section for bis-(diphenylamino)diphenylpolyenes, and dendrimers based on these repeat units, are extraordinaryly large, indicative of excited state absorption. In this presentation we will discuss the possibility of combining these two optical limiting mechanistic paradigms in single structures, which may then be considered as bimechanistic optical power limiters.
