Nanosecond reverse saturable absorption in cubanelike transition-metal clusters
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the measurement of reverse saturable absorption in four cubanelike transition-metal clusters with nanosecond laser pulses. We also present a five-level rate-equation model in which ionization and germinate recombination are included. A comparison between the model and the measured data shows that the population of the triplet states is generated mainly through the ionization–recombination process, and triplet–triplet absorption is responsible for the measured reverse saturable absorption.

Synthesis, photophysics and reverse saturable absorption of bipyridyl platinum(II) bis(arylfluorenylacetylide) complexes.
A series of Pt(II) bipyridyl complexes with different aryl substituents (Ar = naphthyl (1a), anthryl (1b), pyrenyl (1c) and phenothiazyl (1d)) on the fluorenylacetylide ligands are synthesized and investigated. The influence of the aryl substituent on the photophysics of these complexes is systematically investigated by spectroscopic methods and simulated by time dependent density functional th...

In this study, Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite was ablated in various polar and nonpolar solvents by Q-switched neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet laser (wavelength=1064 nm, frequency=2 kHz, pulse duration=240 ns). Then, the products were examined using Scanning Electron Microscopy and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The images showed that different carbon structures such as cauliflower-like structures...

We report our results on nonlinear optical properties of 2(3), 9(10), 16(17), 23(24) tetra tert-butyl phthalocyanine and 2(3), 9(10), 16(17), 23(24) tetra tert-butyl Zinc phthalocyanine studied using Z-scan technique with 800 nm femtosecond and 532 nm nanosecond pulses. Nonlinear absorption behavior in both femtosecond and nanosecond domains was studied in detail. We observed three-photon absor...
متن کاملNonlinear optical properties tuning in meso-tetraphenylporphyrin derivatives substituted with donor/acceptor groups in picosecond and nanosecond regimes.
meso-Tetraphenylporphyrin (TPP) and its two substituted derivatives (meso-tetrakis(4-cyanophenyl)porphyrin [TPP(CN)4] and meso-tetrakis(4-methoxyphenyl)porphyrin [TPP(OMe)4]) were synthesized. Their nonlinear absorption and refraction properties were studied using the Z-scan technique in the picosecond (ps) and nanosecond (ns) regimes. The open aperture Z-scan results reveal that TPP and TPP(CN...
متن کاملEnhanced reverse saturable absorption and optical limiting in heavy-atom-substituted phthalocyanines.
The reverse saturable absorption and the optical-limiting response of metal phthalocyanines can be enhanced by use of the heavy-atom effect. Phthalocyanines containing heavy-metal atoms, such as In, Sn, and Pb, show a nearly factor-of-2 enhancement in the ratio of effective excited-state to ground-state absorption cross sections compared with those containing lighter atoms, such as Al and Si. I...
