Determination of Two-Photon Absorption Cross-Sections in Selected Diketo-Pyrrolo-Pyrroles

Abstract:

The paper deals with determination of two-photon absorption cross-sections of selected representatives of diketo-pyrrolo-pyrrole. The materials were optimized in order to test the influence of various substitutions on the diketo-pyrrolo-pyrrole basic molecule. The two-photon absorption cross-sections were determined using two-photon excited fluorescence technique. A considerably high two-photon absorption cross-section in order of 1000 GM was found for non-symmetrically substituted derivative with donor-acceptor structure. All of the derivatives showed strong fluorescence in solid state visible by naked eye. These results demonstrate that this class of materials can be used in e.g. two-photon fluorescence microscopy in the form of nanoparticles.
