Abstract

We have used functionalized carbazoles and indenoquonoxalines as the main building units and enthynyl groups as the π-linkages to construct two novel dendritic fluorophores and studied their degenerate multi-photon absorption properties in both the solution phase and the neat-film state within femtosecond and nanosecond regions. In our experiments, these model compounds are found to manifest strong and widely dispersed two-photon absorption as well as effective power-limiting properties against ultra-short laser pulses in the near-IR region. In addition, both chromophores exhibit medium to strong three-photon-induced fluorescence, indicating such scaffold may serve as a reference structural motif for the development of three-photon materials.
