  • Descrição: High two-photon absorption (2PA) cross-section materials have been frequently studied during the latest years due to the wide variety of technological applications, such as two-photon absorption microscopy (2PM) and microfabrication. The characterization of new materials with high nonlinearities is, therefore, indispensable to develop new applications and improve previously existing ones. Here, three different groups of novel organic compounds had their nonlinearities characterized through two-photon absorption measurements: fluorenone based compounds, which are usually used in two-photon absorption microscopy; BF2-naphthyridine (BODIPY) complexes, which have a wide range of applications, from solar cells to photodynamic therapy; and binaphthalene-based polymers, with structures built to generate large nonlinearities through inherent chirality. All compounds had their two-photon absorption spectra studied through absorptive Z-Scan, with density functional theory (DFT) calculations made to interpret the results for the first two groups of compounds, and polarization controlled measurements made for the polymers. The highest 2PA cross-section presented by the fluorenone-based compounds was of 224 GM at 710 nm, large and within the wavelength range for 2PM applications; for the BODIPYs, the largest observed cross-section was of 268 GM at 990 nm, of the same order of magnitude of more complex compounds; and 680 GM at 1100 nm for the polymer, showing a high cross-section as expected from its structure. The desired applications for the studied molecules were shown valid, and their characterization gave a better understanding of how to increase their nonlinearities depending on the compound manufacture.
