RESUMO

In the last few years, the design and characterization of novel materials exhibiting high optical nonlinearities is the subject of a fast-growing interest because of their potential application in various fields, from biology to photonics. Two-photon absorption processes, for example, have been used for optical limiting, three-dimensional microfabrication, optical data storage and fluorescence imaging. In this work we investigate the two-photon absorption in organic and organometallic molecules, aiming at the understanding of aspects related to the nonlinear absorption. The two-photon absorption spectra of perylene derivatives, phenyl-diphenylamine derivatives and Platinum Acetylide Complexes were measured using the Z-scan technique with ultrashort pulses. For perylene derivatives, using the white-light continuum Z-scan, we were able to observe subtle structures in nonlinear spectra, which are related to two-photon allowed states in the UV region. Such transitions were confirmed using density functional theory. The two-photon absorption spectrum of Pt-acetylene complexes revealed bands around 600 nm, with relatively high two-photon absorption cross-section in the order of 1000 GM. The broad transparence windows exhibited by these compounds in the visible make them promising candidates for optical limiting devices assisted by two-photon absorption. Finally, the phenyl-biphenylamine samples exhibited a combination between effects from the phenyl-biphenylamine group and the azoaromatic groups, which can be explored in tri-dimensional optical storage devices.
