Abstract

We report on the two-photon absorption (2PA) cross-section for eight azoaromatic compounds in dimethyl sulfoxide solutions, using the Z-scan technique with femtosecond laser pulses at 775 nm. The 2PA cross-sections of these molecules are of the order of (1–6)×10 −50 cm 4 s photon −1 . A correlation was established between the molecular structure and the two-photon absorption process, which makes it possible to develop molecular design strategies to create structures with suitable two-photon absorption coefficients.
