We report here the nonlinear absorption properties of dendritic molecules of oligofluorenes. Measurements were performed in chloroform between 450 and 650 nm for nanosecond time duration pulses. The nonlinear absorption is attributed to a three-photon absorption process involving first a two-photon absorption (TPA) step followed by an excited state absorption (ESA) process. The corresponding three-photon absorption coefficient α3 presents at resonance high values (α3 > 10000 cm 3/ GW 2 for 2G1 the first dendrimer generation bearing a bifluorene at a concentration of 50 g/L). These values are strongly enhanced with respect to those obtained in the same conditions for analog linear oligofluorenes.

Real-time tuning of photoluminescence properties are highly desirable for potential applications. Thus, one proposed approach is to tune the photoluminescence emissions by applying an external electric field. However, in order to switch the ferroelectric polarization, high quality bulk ceramics is demanded. In this work, soft and hard Er3+-doped (K,Na)NbO3 piezophotonic ceramics were prepared by the conventional route and their microstructural, structural and up-conversion emission properties were investigated. Dense and free from secondary phases ceramics were successfully produced. The photoluminescence spectra, in the visible range, were characterized as a function of the pumping power. For the soft composition, a remarkable green shift was verified with increasing the laser power. It was supposed that the excited state absorption, involving a three-photon absorption process, was involved in the 4S3/2→4I15/2 transition. For the hard composition, the two-photon absorption process was dominant and the presence of complex defects reduced significantly the 4F9/2→4I15/2 transition.

In this paper, the nonlinear absorption properties of two complexes consisting of Ru(C≡CPh)(C≡C)(dppe)2 (dppe = Ph2PCH2CH2PPh2) as electron donor (D) and 4,7-di(2-thienyl)benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole as electron acceptor (A) units in two different arrangement, i.e., A–D–A and D–A–D, are presented. They were measured in solution by the femtosecond open-aperture Z-scan method. The complexes show moderate two-photon absorption cross-sections σ(2) of several hundred to one thousand GM (here 1 GM = 10−50 cm4 s molecule−1 photon−1). Although they are formed by the same building units, it was found that the two-photon absorption values of the D–A–D arrangement are six times higher than that of the A–D–A one. This difference can be explained by the number of metal cores (one or two ruthenium centers), the geometrical configurations of the complexes (more or less planar), and the resonance enhancement by lowering the intermediate state.

The contributions to the nonlinear absorption of liquid crystal media in their isotropic phase are measured using a picosecond pump/probe technique at 587 nm. Good agreement between the experimental data and theory is obtained by assuming that two-photon absorption and excited state absorption dominate the nonlinear optical response. The important parameters are extracted from the experimental data and it is shown that the nonlinear absorption depends strongly on the molecular structure. The lifetime of the excited state is measured and found to compare well with the fluorescence lifetime.

We investigated the frequency upconversion (UC) process in BaTiO3:Er3+ nanocrystals for excitation wavelengths in the range 638 to 660 nm. Green upconversion emissions at 526 and 547 nm corresponding to 2H11/2 → 4I15/2 and 4S3/2 → 4I15/2 to transitions of the Er3+ were observed. The excitation spectrum for UC emissions presented three bands, due to ground state and excited state absorption of Er3+ ions. The UC intensity as a function of the laser power was investigated and it was found this a two-photon absorption process.

Non-substituted and alkyl-substituted triphenylamine–dibenzo[a,c]phenazine adducts (Q1–Q3) showed the combined features of ICT plus AEE, while the alkoxy-substituted Q4–Q5 exhibited obvious AIE effects.
