“…A standard Z ‐scan analysis is done by moving the sample back‐and‐forth from the focal point of the pulsed laser beam along its optical axis (defined as the z ‐axis) via a continuously tunable optical attenuator plate. Under the assumption that the laser beam intensity follows an ideal Gaussian profile, the normalized open‐aperture Z ‐scan transmittance can be given by

T_{TPA} = {([], 1 + (n - 1) α_{n} L_{normaleff} {(I_{normal0} / (1 + {(z normal/ z_{0})}^{2}))}^{n - 1})}^{- 1 / (n - 1)}, L_{eff} = \frac{1 - e^{- α L}}{α}

in which α n denotes the effective multiphoton absorption coefficient, L eff is the effective length of the sample, α is the linear absorption coefficient, L is the actual length of the sample, I 0 is the laser intensity, and z 0 is the diffraction length of the laser beam (also known as the Rayleigh length). Using Equation to fit the Z ‐scan experimental data shown in Figure , we numerically calculated the effective TPA coefficient (α 2 ) as 8.5 cm GW −1 for the single crystal MAPbBr 3 at 1044 nm excitation by numerous experimental attempts, which is significantly higher than other well‐known semiconductors that feature TPA at similar wavelengths, such as CdTe (0.02 cm GW −1 at 1300 nm) and GaSe (≈6.3 cm GW −1 at 1060 nm) .…”

Researchers have recently revealed that hybrid lead halide perovskites exhibit ferroelectricity, which is often associated with other physical characteristics, such as a large nonlinear optical response. In this work, the nonlinear optical properties of single crystal inorganic-organic hybrid perovskite CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 are studied. By exciting the material with a 1044 nm laser, strong two-photon absorption-induced photoluminescence in the green spectral region is observed. Using the transmission open-aperture Z-scan technique, the values of the two-photon absorption coefficient are observed to be 8.5 cm GW −1 , which is much higher than that of standard two-photon absorbing materials that are industrially used in nonlinear optical applications, such as lithium niobate (LiNbO 3 ), LiTaO 3 , KTiOPO 4 , and KH 2 PO 4 . Such a strong two-photon absorption effect in CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 can be used to modulate the spectral and spatial profiles of laser pulses, as well as to reduce noise, and can be used to strongly control the intensity of incident light. In this study, the superior optical limiting, pulse reshaping, and stabilization properties of CH 3 NH 3 PbBr 3 are demonstrated, opening new applications for perovskites in nonlinear optics.

“…Recently, organometallic complexes have attracted attention as promising third-order NLO materials [10][11][12][13]. These materials, which contain transition metal-ions, exhibit new properties due to the richness of the various excited states presented in the system and the ability to tailor the metal-organic ligand interactions.…”

The third-order nonlinear optical properties of the 1,1'-Methylenedipyridinium bis[tetrachloridoaurate(III)] Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) have been studied using Z-scan technique. Measurements were performed with a CW diode laser at 635 nm wavelength and 16.4 mW power.The nonlinear optical absorption coefficient (β) and nonlinear refraction (n 2 )were found at 7.45×10 -4 cm/W and 1.08×10 -8 cm 2 /W, respectively. The nonlinear absorption coefficient β decrease with increase in on-axis input intensity I 0 . The cross-section of the excited state (σ ex ) was found to be larger than the cross-section of the ground state (σ g ). This feature confirmed that the reverse saturable absorption (RSA) mechanism was responsible for the optical limiting effect. The results suggest that this material is considered as a promising candidate for future optical devices applications.

“…At this point the intense light would result in triplet-triplet absorption (T 1 ® T n ) making Pcs excellent optical limiters. 9,10 It is recognized that the asymmetrical electronic structure of Pcs induced by the introduction and variation of peripheral substituents enhances NLO properties. When peripheral substituents are considered, a condensation reaction with a single phthalonitrile precursor can result in four constitutional isomers with C s , C 2v , C 4h and D 2h symmetries.…”
