Abstract

Nonlinear optical properties of asymmetric pentaazadentate expanded porphyrin metal complexes are investigated. The transmittance dependence of the target compounds on the incident laser intensity generates different nonlinear optical effects in the excited states. The reverse saturable absorption at 532 nm in the ns pulses and the saturable absorption for the pspulses at high fluences are observed in solutions. The nonlinear refractive indices n2 aremeasured by the Z-scan technique. The optical limiting based on the RSA and transverse refraction are demonstrated for ns and continuous laser. An optical limiter based on the RSA and self-refraction is performed, in which the limitating threshold and amplitude of output energy are reduced.
