Abstract
Nonlinear optical response and reverse saturable absorption behavior of various rare earth phthalocyanines such as Nd , Eu , Sm and La in dimethyl formamide (DMF) solution were studied under high power Nd:YAG laser excitation. Excited state absorption cross-sections and two-photon absorption cross-sections of these systems are measured from the limiting characteristics. The SmHPc 2 system yields maximum value for excited state absorption cross-section and its potential application in DMF as a suitable optical limiter is also discussed.
