Two-photon absorption and optical limiting of two fluorenyl-based derivatives, 9,9-dimethyl-2,7-bis((E)-4-nitrostyryl)-9H-fluorene and 9,9-dimethyl-2,7-bis((E)-4-((E)-4-nitrostyryl)styryl)-9H-fluorene, in gas phase and solvent with nanosecond laser pulse have been theoretically investigated by solving the coupled rate equations and the field intensity equation employing an iterative predictor–corrector finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. The results show that both optical limiting properties and two-photon absorption cross-section strongly depend on the length of these molecules and the solvent. Moreover, the dynamical two-photon absorption behavior is affected by the thickness of samples and the pulse duration. These discoveries demonstrate that these fluorenyl-based derivatives possess highly promising characteristics and have potential applications for optical limiting devices.

Optical limiting characteristics of pure and 150 ppm Fe-doped Bi 12 SiO 20 (BSO:Fe) crystals are studied at high intensity nanosecond pulse regime. When the input light is at 532 nm and at 595 nm with 6 ns pulse duration, a good optical limiting behavior is observed due to simultaneous effect of trap assisted excited state absorption and two photon absorption. The precise role of the internal defects due to impurity centers present in the crystal lattice is explained on the basis of a four level model. This study reveal that the increased nonlinear absorption due to iron incorporation in BSO makes it an excellent passive optical limiter.

The incorporation of styryl/stilbene–fluorene into polyacetylenes not only endowed the polymers with novel near-infrared optical limiting properties based on a two-photon absorption mechanism but good solubility and high thermal stability.

Effective nonlinear absorption coefficient, β eff , of solutions of some rare earth substituted phthalocyanines (viz: Sm(Pc)2, Eu(Pc)2 and LaPc) was measured using open aperture Z-scan technique under nanosecond pulse excitation at 532 nm. The effect of nonlinear absorption on optical limiting in these samples was also investigated. Both nonlinear absorption and optical limiting phenomena in these samples are attributed to sequential two-photon absorption (STPA) process.
