Abstract

The third order nonlinear optical (NLO) response of metal free tetrakis(cumylphenoxy)-phthalocyanine, (H2Pc(CP)4) was investigated at 597 nm, near resonance with the strong Q band. The second hyperpolarizability, γ, and the figure of merit, χ(3)/α, measured with a 1.2 ps pulse. was approximately independent of concentration between a 4.6×10−4 M solution and a neat thin film. The decay of the nonlinear response, however, depended substantially on the concentration and physical state of the material.
