Abstract

Phosphorescence 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.
