- Description
- The nonlinear optical behaviors of ball-type phthalocyanine complexes: 1′,11,’15′,25′-tetrakis-[4,4′-((4-formyl-1,2-bisphenoxyl))bis(phthalocyaninato zinc (II)] (5), 1′,11,’15′,25′-tetrakis-[4,4′-((4-formyl-1,2-bisphenoxyl) bis(phthalocyaninato gallium (III) chloride)] (6), and 1′, 11,’15′,25′-tetrakis-4,4′-((4-formyl-1,2-phenoxyl)bis(phthalocyaninato indium (III) chloride)] (7) and the corresponding monomeric derivatives 8–10 were investigated using nanosecond pulse open aperture Z-scan technique at 532 nm. The nonlinear response showed strong reverse saturable absorption for all the complexes both in solution and when embedded in polymer matrix. The dimeric complexes showed better optical limiting properties compared to the monomeric derivatives. The βeff values for the dimeric complexes 5–7 were found to be 48.5, 55.2, and 60.1 cm/GW for 5, 6A, and 7 respectively, higher than the corresponding monomeric derivatives 8–10. Enhanced optical limiting properties were observed when the complexes were formulated in thin films. The second order hyperpolarizability values were in order of 10−28–10−26 esu in solution and 10−27–10−26 in films.
