Abstract
A new organic dye trans-4-[ p-( N-ethyl- N-hydroxyethylamino)styryl]- N-methylpyridinium iodide (abbreviated as HEASPI hereafter) with large two-photon absorption (TPA) cross section and excellent upconverted superradiance properties was synthesized in our group recently. The TPA cross section was measured to be σ 2′=7.0×10 −48 cm 4 s/ photon by using an open aperture Z-scan system. Linear absorption, single-photon induced fluorescence, two-photon induced fluorescence and two-photon pumped (TPP) upconverted superradiance properties were systematically studied. The highest net upconversion efficiency from the absorbed pump energy to the output upconverted superradiance energy is as high as 19.6% at the pump energy of 2.07 mJ from a mode-locked Nd : YAG picosecond laser. The dye solution also shows a clear optical power limiting effect.
