AbstractPhosphorescence studies of reverse saturable absorption materials (RSA) are discussed. Absorption and emission measurements of an RSA material, specifically Zinc 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octabromo-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin (ZnOBP), are performed in a proprietary host polymer. Spectra are analyzed to estimate the relative energy level of the first triplet state of ZnOBP with respect to the ground state.

A novel naphthalocyanine 2,11,20,29-tetrabromo-2,3-naphthalocyanine iron was synthetized. Its optical nonlinearity was investigated using the Z-scan technique. Reverse saturable absorption and high-order optical nonlinear refraction were detected. The absorption cross sections of the ground state, the singlet first excited state and the triplet first excited state were fitted to be 3.2 × 10[Formula: see text] cm[Formula: see text], 6.2 × 10[Formula: see text] cm[Formula: see text] and 4.6 × 10[Formula: see text] cm[Formula: see text], respectively. Fits also gave 1.17 × 10[Formula: see text] cm[Formula: see text] for the refractive volume of the ground state, 0.6 for the ratio of the refractive volume of the singlet first excited state to the ground state and 2.7 for the ratio of refractive volume of the first triplet excited state to the ground state.

ABSTRACTThe wavelength dependence of the nonlinear absorption for lead tetrakis (cumyl-phenoxy) phthalocyanine (PbPc(CP)4) and lead octa (α-pentoxy) napthalocyanine (PbNc(α-PO)8) are reported. The ground state absorption and the reverse saturable absorption are substantially red shifted in PbNc (α-PO)8 as expected. Such control over the reverse saturable absorption is crucial to design optical limiting materials for specific wavelength ranges.

Investigations of the reverse saturable absorption behaviour of Fullerenes C 60 and C 70 and some of their Pt and Pd metal derivatives have been carried out with picosecond pulses at 532 nm. From intensity dependent transmission measurements, coupled with a population level kinetic analysis, excited state cross sections were determined for the materials. These show that C 60 possesses the largest excited state to ground state cross-section ratio and that, of the materials studied, it offers the best optical limiting ability around 532 nm. C 70, due to its large ground state absorption, has been shown not to be an efficient limiter. The metal derivatives perform better than C 70 but less efficiently than C 60.

Carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) with high porosity and great optical features can be used as a luminescent material. One year later, the same group investigated the NLO properties CNPs and boron-doped CNPs by 532 nm and 1064 nm laser excitations to uncover the underlying physical mechanisms in their NLO response. Hence, a facile approach, laser ablation technique, was employed for carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) synthesis from suspended activated carbon (AC). Morphological properties of the prepared CNPs were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). UV-Vis and fluorescence (FL) spectra were used to optical properties investigation of CNPs. The size distribution of nanoparticles was evaluated using dynamic light scattering (DLS). The nonlinear optical (NLO) coefficients of the synthesized CNPs were determined by the Z-scan method. As a result, strong reverse saturable absorption and self-defocusing effects were observed at the excitation wavelength of 442 nm laser irradiation. These effects were ascribed to the presence of delocalized π-electrons in AC CNPs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study investigating the NLO properties of the AC CNPs.

AbstractWe have shown that the Fano interference in the decay channels of a three-level system can lead to considerably different absorption and emission profiles. We found that a coherence can be built up in the ground state doublet, with strength depending on a coupling parameter that arises from the Fano interference. The coherence can in principle lead to breaking of the detail balance between the absorption and emission processes in atomic systems.
