Abstract
We report on the chemical dynamics and nonlinear optical absorption of di-furfuryl ether (DFE) solutions. DFE molecules were derivatized from the room temperature furfuryl alcohol self-reaction, whose reaction kinetics was investigated with the Z-scan technique and laser-induced fluorescence. These molecules are shown to exhibit a pronounced reverse saturable absorption process. The magnitude of the excited-state absorption cross-sections and the intersystem crossing lifetime have been evaluated with 8 ns pulses at 532 nm.
