Journal ArticleDOI
Nonlinear absorption study of a C 60 -toluene solution
Daniel G. McLean,Richard L. Sutherland,Mark C. Brant,Donna M. Brandelik,Paul A. Fleitz,T. Pottenger +5 more
TL;DR: A five-level model of C60 yields excellent agreement with both pulse-width data sets for incident fluences as high as approximately 1 J/cm2 and additional phenomena observed at higher fluences indicate that other mechanisms may be active and contribute to optical limiting in this regime.
Journal ArticleDOI
Excited-state characterization and effective three-photon absorption model of two-photon-induced excited-state absorption in organic push-pull charge-transfer chromophores
Richard L. Sutherland,Mark C. Brant,Jim Heinrichs,Joy E. Rogers,Jonathan E. Slagle,Daniel G. McLean,Paul A. Fleitz +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated two-photon and excited-state absorption in D-pi-A chromophores and proposed a model to explain nonlinear absorption in the nanosecond regime.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation of reverse-saturable absorption in brominated porphyrins
TL;DR: In this article, a series of metal-containing brominated tetraphenylporphyrin (MOBP) reverse-saturable absorber (RSA) dyes were synthesized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insight into the Nonlinear Absorbance of Two Related Series of Two-Photon Absorbing Chromophores
Joy E. Rogers,Jonathan E. Slagle,Daniel G. McLean,Richard L. Sutherland,Mark C. Brant,James Heinrichs,Rachel Jakubiak,Ramamurthi Kannan,Loon-Seng Tan,Paul A. Fleitz +9 more
TL;DR: The AF240 series exhibits higher intrinsic two-photon absorption (TPA) cross-sections than the AF270 series as well as enhanced nanosecond nonlinear absorption, with an increase with number of branches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chitosan-based hydrogels: A new polymer-based system with excellent laser-damage threshold properties
TL;DR: In this article, two types of chitosan hydrogel systems have been prepared that have a laser damage threshold (LDT) up to 35 times higher than commercial PMMA bulk materials.
