We present a study on the third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) properties of organic open-shell compounds, focusing on two-photon absorption (TPA).
TPA provides distinct advantages over single-photon absorption, such as high spatial resolution and penetration depth, while minimizing photodamage. Effective design is crucial for achieving molecules with significant TPA properties. Molecules with a push-pull system, large extended π-system, and rigid planar structure have shown potential for high TPA.
Recent synthesis efforts have focused on N-heteropolycyclic derivatives incorporating this design. By employing the Z-scan technique, we can analyze how molecular design influences NLO properties and find pronounced TPA cross sections in the near-infrared region by introducing open-shell character, revealing remarkable values (up to 8400 GM) compared to similar organic compounds.
