Enhanced Femtosecond Nonlinearities and Multiphoton Absorptions in Discrete Bands of Porphyrins.

Optical nonlinearities of discrete absorption energy levels of one of the typical heterocyclic aromatic molecules, free-base porphyrins, have been probed over a broad spectral region (400-1600 nm) utilizing intense femtosecond pulses. A wide range of strong one- and multiphoton-induced nonlinear absorptions of both the blue-end Soret (B) band (au → b1g) and red-end orbital mixing split quasi-allowed Q-bands (Qx(0,0; 0,1), Qy(0,0; 0,1), au → eg) are critically probed and reported. During the resonant excitation within B- (400 nm) and Q-bands (600-750 nm), the nonlinear absorption has become predominant by the saturation of absorption (SA) of the one-photon absorption (1PA) process due to ground-state bleaching. At nonresonant wavelengths, it is dominated by the reverse saturation of absorption (RSA), involving various nonlinear processes of two-, three-, and four-photon (2PA, 3PA, and 4PA) absorptions, either to B- or Q-bands (1100-1600 nm). The laser intensity-dependent nonresonant (2PA, 800 nm) excitations for the prominent B-band show a distinct cross-over from SA to RSA, contributed by the excited-state absorption (ESA) utilizing a three-photon induced (3PA) process, whereas resonant (1PA, 400 nm) excitation reveals a systematic strong SA process. Both wavelength- and intensity-dependent nonlinear refractive index studies exhibit positive electronic Kerr-based self-focusing effects, with prominent contributions of nonlinear absorption and higher-order effects. The spectrally discrete, highly intense laser probing of individual energy bands and the consequent variety of nonlinearities can be broadly generalized for many free-base porphyrins and metalloporphyrins. The present studies provide a strong foundation and new insight into the broad categories of macrocycles, such as porphyrins and phthalocyanines, for myriad applications in nonlinear optics and bio/optophotonics.

Enhanced photoluminescence of double perovskite Cs2SnI6 nanocrystals via Na+ doping.

Double perovskites without lead element have attracted great attention in recent years. Further increasing the photoluminescence quantum yield of lead-free double perovskites is necessary for their potential applications. In this work, Na+ doped Cs2SnI6 nanocrystals were synthesized by hot injection method. It was displayed that all the NCs have uniform hexagonal shape with good crystallization. Energy dispersing spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy proves the Na+ ions were doped in the lattice of perovskite structure. The photoluminescence intensity of doped NCs is increased by 2.7-fold than that of pure NCs. A maximum photoluminescence quantum yield of 72% is obtained. The luminous mechanism was investigated by femtosecond transient absorption spectrum and a self-trap emission was proved by the observation of ground state bleaching and photo-induced absorption signals.

Tm:CALGO lasers at 2.32 µm: cascade lasing and upconversion pumping.

We report on the first laser operation of a disordered Tm:CaGdAlO4 crystal on the 3H4 → 3H5 transition. Under direct pumping at 0.79 µm, it generates 264 mW at 2.32 µm with a slope efficiency of 13.9% and 22.5% vs. incident and absorbed pump power, respectively, and a linear polarization (σ). Two strategies to overcome the bottleneck effect of the metastable 3F4 Tm3+ state leading to the ground-state bleaching are exploited: cascade lasing on the 3H4 → 3H5 and 3F4 → 3H6 transitions and dual-wavelength pumping at 0.79 and 1.05 µm combining the direct and upconversion pumping schemes. The cascade Tm-laser generates a maximum output power of 585 mW at 1.77 µm (3F4 → 3H6) and 2.32 µm (3H4 → 3H5) with a higher slope efficiency of 28.3% and a lower laser threshold of 1.43 W, out of which 332 mW are achieved at 2.32 µm. Under dual-wavelength pumping, further power scaling to 357 mW at at 2.32 µm is observed at the expense of increased laser threshold. To support the upconversion pumping experiment, excited-state absorption spectra of Tm3+ ions for the 3F4 → 3F2,3 and 3F4 → 3H4 transitions are measured for polarized light. Tm3+ ions in CaGdAlO4 exhibit broadband emission at 2.3 - 2.5 µm making this crystal promising for ultrashort pulse generation.

Template-Assisted Synthesis of a Large-Area Ordered Perovskite Nanowire Array for a High-Performance Photodetector.

One-dimensional (1D) organic-inorganic hybrid perovskite nanowires (NWs) with well-defined structures possess superior optical and electrical properties for optoelectronic applications. However, most of the perovskite NWs are synthesized in air, which makes the NWs susceptible to water vapor, resulting in large amounts of grain boundaries or surface defects. Here, a template-assisted antisolvent crystallization (TAAC) method is designed to fabricate CH3NH3PbBr3 NWs and arrays. It is found that the as-synthesized NW array has designable shapes, low crystal defects, and ordered alignment, which is attributed to the sequestration of water and oxygen in air by the introduction of acetonitrile vapor. The photodetector based on the NWs exhibits an excellent response to light illumination. Under the illumination of a 532 nm laser with 0.1 μW and a bias of -1 V, the responsivity and detectivity of the device reach 1.55 A/W and 1.21 × 1012 Jones, respectively. The transient absorption spectrum (TAS) shows a distinct ground state bleaching signal only at 527 nm, which corresponds to the absorption peak induced by the interband transition of CH3NH3PbBr3. Narrow absorption peaks (a few nanometers) indicate that the energy-level structures of CH3NH3PbBr3 NWs only have a few impurity-level-induced transitions leading to additional optical loss. This work provides an effective and simple strategy to achieve high-quality CH3NH3PbBr3 NWs, which exhibit potential application in photodetection.

Vibrational response functions for multidimensional electronic spectroscopy in nonadiabatic models.

The interplay of nuclear and electronic dynamics characterizes the multidimensional electronic spectra of various molecular and solid-state systems. Theoretically, the observable effect of such interplay can be accounted for by response functions. Here, we report analytical expressions for the response functions corresponding to a class of model systems. These are characterized by coupling between the diabatic electronic states and the vibrational degrees of freedom, resulting in linear displacements of the corresponding harmonic oscillators, and by nonadiabatic couplings between pairs of diabatic states. In order to derive the linear response functions, we first perform the Dyson expansion of the relevant propagators with respect to the nonadiabatic component of the Hamiltonian, then derive and expand with respect to the displacements the propagators at given interaction times, and finally provide analytical expressions for the time integrals that lead to the different contributions to the linear response function. The approach is then applied to the derivation of third-order response functions describing different physical processes: ground state bleaching, stimulated emission, excited state absorption, and double quantum coherence. Comparisons between the results obtained up to sixth order in the Dyson expansion and independent numerical calculation of the response functions provide evidence of the series convergence in a few representative cases.

Tailoring photoluminescence of WS2-microcavity coupling devices in broad visible range

Abstract Most of the previous TMDC-photon coupling devices were mainly based on A exciton due to its high oscillator strength and large exciton binding energy. Less effort has been focused on the modulation of the emission of B exciton and Rydberg states in TMDCs, especially in monolayer WS2. Here, we demonstrate that the photoluminescence (PL) emission of WS2-microcavity coupling devices can be tailored in a broad visible wavelength range (490 nm–720 nm). In contrast to the intrinsic PL emission of monolayer WS2, 25-fold enhanced B exciton emission and significant PL emission from the 2s Rydberg state can be observed. From the transient absorption (TA) measurements, the strongly coupled hybrid states based on B exciton can be remarkably fingerprinted. Furthermore, the strongly enhanced PL emission from the coupled B exciton has been demonstrated due to the strongly increased lower polariton (LP) state population and the internal conversion pathway being blocked in the strong coupling regime. Besides, the remarkable PL emission from the 2s Rydberg state is also revealed and confirmed by the additional ground state bleaching signal in TA spectra. These physical mechanisms about tailoring the PL emission in low dimensional TMDCs can provide significant references for constructing highly efficient optoelectronic devices.

Size-dependent photoinduced transparency in colloidal CdTe quantum dots in the strong confinement regime: an inverse linear relationship.

Nanomaterials have been investigated as saturable absorbers for ultrafast lasers because of their large photoinduced transparency related to ground-state bleaching. However, the quantum dot size effect on the photoinduced transparency in the strong confinement regime has not been explored due to the challenge of accurately measuring the ground state and the excited-state absorption cross-sections. At the same time, these optical properties are essential to calculate several chemical and physical quantities at the nanoscale. In this context, we have employed the photoluminescence saturation method to determine the ground-state absorption cross-section and the femtosecond open-aperture Z-scan technique to investigate the size-dependent ground-state bleaching of glutathione-capped CdTe QDs synthesized in an aqueous medium. The results were modeled using rate equations within the three-energy levels approach. Our results pointed out that the photoinduced transparency rate at the 1S3/2(h) → 1S(e) transition peak presents an inverse linear relationship with the QD diameter (from 2.2 nm up to 3 nm). Otherwise, the larger QDs have a higher ground-state cross-section, which is directly proportional to the ground-state bleaching. To explain this apparent contradiction, we calculate the effective absorption coefficient αeff = σ/V (σ is the absorption cross section and V is the QD volume) for the QDs and observed that the smaller QDs have a higher absorption from the ground to the first excited state, corroborating our results. Finally, our results showed that the saturable absorption effect in CdTe-QDs is slightly higher than that obtained for graphene and other 2D materials and smaller than the black phosphorus in the visible region.

Panchromatic Excited-State Absorption in Bis-Cyclometalated Iridium Isocyanide Complexes.

In this work, we introduce a series of cyclometalated iridium complexes and evaluate the suitability of this class of compounds in nonlinear optical (NLO) applications, with an emphasis on long-lived, panchromatic reverse-saturable absorption (RSA). The investigated complexes are represented by the general formula [Ir(C^N)2(CNArdmp)2]+, (C^N = cyclometalating ligand, CNArdmp = 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide). Seven such complexes were synthesized and characterized, including in-depth analysis of their photophysical properties (UV-vis absorption, photoluminescence, and transient absorption). This series of compounds contains seven different cyclometalating ligands (2-phenylbenzothiazole (bt) (Ir1), 5-nitro-2-phenylpyridine (ppyNO2) (Ir2), 5-nitro-2-(9-phenanthryl)pyridine (phenNO2) (Ir3), 2-(benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)quinoline (btq) (Ir4), 6-(benzo[b]thiophen-2'-yl)phenanthridine (btph) (Ir5), 2,4-diphenylquinoline (dpq) (Ir6), and 6-nitro-2,4-diphenylquinoline (NO2dpq) (Ir7)), which have profound effects on their ground-state and excited-state absorption spectra. To evaluate the effects of the isocyanide ancillary ligands, some heteroleptic bis-cyclometalated iridium(III) acetylacetonate (acac) analogue complexes are included as points of comparison. In the ground state, the bis-isocyanide complexes display UV-vis absorption with the characteristic 1LC (π → π*) band at λ < 350 nm and 1MLCT bands at 350-500 nm. Five of the complexes (Ir1, Ir2, Ir4, Ir5, and Ir6) display broad, intense triplet excited-state absorption with no ground-state bleach (GSB) over the spectral window of 400-900 nm, with excited-state lifetimes spanning three orders of magnitude from ∼32 ns to 12 μs. The photophysical data suggests that the isocyanide ancillary ligand blue-shifts the GSB transient into the UV, which is normally found in the middle of the visible region for cyclometalated iridium complexes. This study demonstrates the applicability of cationic cyclometalated iridium(III) bis-isocyanide complexes as candidate RSA materials.

Transient absorption study on Red Vermilion darkening in presence of chlorine ions and after UV exposure

The application of no destructive techniques in the field of Cultural Heritage is becoming fundamental to understanding degradation phenomena. In this study, Transient Absorption (TA) spectroscopy was exploited to explain the process which causes the darkening of Red Vermilion, a famous pigment known also as cinnabar. The optical properties involved in the process are studied in pure HgS and chlorine doped HgS samples, before and after exposure to UV light (365 nm). The study was carried out with particular attention on the ground state bleaching signals, directly connected to the formation of intra-gap trap levels responsible for the pigment degradation. First derivative reflectance spectra reveal the presence of these defectivities, while the analysis of Tauc plots from Kubelka Munk function confirms the reduction of energy band gap due to UV exposure. With the help of Density Functional calculations, we simulated the role of S vacancies in producing a defective alpha-phase, the consequent reduction of the energy band gap and, finally, the progressive phase transformation to the cubic metacinnabar. Transient Absorption turns out to be an important tool of diagnosis about the conservation state of pigments applied in the field of Cultural Heritage.

Carotenoid responds to excess energy dissipation in the LH2 complex from Rhodoblastus acidophilus.

The functions of both (bacterio) chlorophylls and carotenoids in light-harvesting complexes have been extensively studied during thepast decade, yet, the involvement of BChl a high-energy Soret band in the cascade of light-harvesting processes still remainsa relatively unexplored topic. Here, we present transient absorption data recorded after excitation of the Soret band in the LH2 complex from Rhodoblastus acidophilus. Comparison of obtained data to those recorded after excitation of rhodopin glucoside and B800 BChl a suggests that no Soret-to-Car energy transfer pathway is active in LH2 complex. Furthermore, a spectrally rich pattern observed in the spectral region of rhodopin glucoside ground state bleaching (420-550nm) has been assigned toanelectrochromic shift. The results of global fitting analysis demonstrate two more features. A 6ps component obtained exclusively after excitation of the Soret band has been assigned to the response of rhodopin glucoside to excess energy dissipation in LH2. Another time component, ~ 450ps, appearing independently of theexcitation wavelength was assigned to BChla-to-Car triplet-triplet transfer. Presented data demonstrate several new features of LH2 complex and its behavior following the excitation of the Soret band.

Ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopic studies on the Impact of growth time on size, stability, and optical characteristics of colloidal gold nanoparticles

Metallic gold (Au) nanoparticles (NPs) with an average size of less than 20 nm exhibit surface plasmon resonance (SPR), which makes them intriguing candidates for optical and optoelectronic applications. In this work, Turkevich approach is used to synthesize different samples of Au NPs by tuning the growth times during synthesis. Transmission electron micrographs depict that the Au NPs are highly crystalline, monodisperse, and spherical, with an average size of ~13–30 nm. Moreover, a shift in the ultraviolet-visible (UV–visible) absorption spectrum is observed from 525 nm to 542 nm. The change in the SPR band corroborates with the growth time-dependent size enhancement. Ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy (UTAS) has been employed to characterize the optical properties as well as the stability of NPs, and it is worth noticing that as the growth time increases, the intensity of the ground-state bleach and the intraband transitions reduces and increases at 400 fs and 5 ps, respectively, demonstrating the size dependence of the hot-electron distribution (e--e- scattering). These heated electrons subsequently relax into the lattice through two different forms of scattering, namely electron-phonon (e--ph) and phonon-phonon (ph-ph) scatterings. The stability of the Au NPs has been evaluated by kinetic parameters, with a longer average decay time (τavg) showing enhanced stability of NPs with longer growth durations. Transient absorption spectroscopy reveals the size-dependent dynamics of interfacial charge/energy transfer between the Au NPs and the lattice.

Spectral response of vibrational polaritons in an optomechanical cavity

Vibrational strong coupling provides a convenient way to modify the energy of molecular vibrations and to explore the control of chemical reactivity. In this work, we theoretically report the various vibrational anharmonicities that modulate the dynamics of optomechanically coupled W(CO)6-cavity. The optomechanical free-space cavity consists of movable photonic crystal membrane, which creates photonic bound states to interact with the molecular vibration. This coupled system is used for realizing strong optomechanical dispersive or dissipative type coupling, which provides a platform to explore the new regimes of optomechanical interaction. The addition of different strong coupling and mechanical (nuclear) anharmonicities to the optical cavity establishes a modified splitting dynamics in the absorption spectrum and shows that the ground-state bleach of coupled W(CO)6-cavity has a broad, multisigned spectral response. This work demonstrates the possibility of systematic and predictive modification of the multimode spectroscopy of optomechanical W(CO)6-cavity polariton system.

Leveraging Dynamical Symmetries in Two-Dimensional Electronic Spectra to Extract Population Transfer Pathways.

We present a method to deterministically isolate population transfer kinetics from two-dimensional electronic spectroscopic signals. Central to this analysis is the characterization of how all possible subensembles of excited state systems evolve through the population time. When these dynamics are diagrammatically mapped by using double-sided Feynman pathways where population time dynamics are included, a useful symmetry emerges between excited state absorption and ground state bleach recovery dynamics of diagonal and below diagonal cross-peak signals. This symmetry allows removal of pathways from the spectra to isolate signals that evolve according to energy transfer kinetics. We describe a regression procedure to fit to energy transfer time constants and characterize the accuracy of the method in a variety of complex excited state systems using simulated two-dimensional spectra. Our results show that the method is robust for extracting ultrafast energy transfer in multistate excitonic systems, systems containing dark states that affect the signal kinetics, and systems with interfering vibrational relaxation pathways. This procedure can be used to accurately extract energy transfer kinetics from a wide variety of condensed phase systems.

Vibrational Dynamics of the Intramolecular H-Bond in Acetylacetone Investigated with Transient and 2D IR Spectroscopy.

Acetylacetone (AcAc) has proven to be a fruitful but highly challenging model system for the experimental and computational interrogation of strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Key questions remain, however, regarding the identity of the minimum-energy structure of AcAc and the dynamics of intramolecular proton transfer. Here, we investigate the OH/OD stretch and bend regions of the enol tautomer of AcAc and its deuterated isotopologue with transient absorption and 2D IR spectroscopy. The OH bend region reveals a single dominant diagonal transition near 1625 cm-1 with intense cross peaks to lower-frequency modes, demonstrating highly mixed fingerprint transitions that contain OH bend character. The anharmonic coupling of the OH bend results in a highly elongated OH bend excited-state absorption transition that indicates a large manifold of OH bend overtone/combination bands in the OH stretch region that leads to strong bend-stretch Fermi resonance interactions. The OH and OD stretch regions consist of broad ground-state bleach signals, but there is no clear evidence of ω21 excited-state absorptions due to rapid population relaxation arising from strong intramolecular coupling to bending, fingerprint, and low-frequency H-bond modes. Orientational relaxation dynamics persist for timescales longer than the vibrational lifetimes, with polarization anisotropy components decaying within approximately 2 and 10 periods of the O-O oscillation for the OH and OD stretch, respectively. The significant isotopic dependence of the orientational dynamics is discussed in the context of intramolecular mode coupling, diffusional processes, and contributions from proton/deuteron transfer dynamics.

H*- and J-Aggregates of an Indotricarbocyanine Dye: Steady-State Spectral Properties and Excited-State Dynamics

H*-aggregates are a rarely observed type of molecular aggregates, with many of their properties yet to be investigated. The indotricarbocyanine dye under study is the first known compound able to produce both H*- and J-aggregates. Steady-state spectral properties, morphology, photoelectrochemical response, and excited-state dynamics of the H*-aggregates are investigated for the first time. Under 400 nm pumping, the deactivation of electronic excitations in the H*-aggregates follows two paths involving the top and bottom of the exciton band. This is consistent with the presence of a fast 3 ps and a slow 33 ps component in the decay trace of the ground-state bleaching. Under 800 nm pumping, the H*-aggregates are promoted to the bottom of the exciton band. Consequently, only the slow component is present in the decay trace of the ground-state bleaching. For the J-aggregates, the ground-state bleaching follows biexponential decay with the time constants of 1 and 20 ps under both 400 and 800 nm pumping. The relaxation involves only the bottom of the exciton band. The faster deactivation of electronic excitations in the J-aggregates is probably due to greater exciton delocalization: 9 molecules in the J-aggregates versus 4 molecules in the H*-aggregates. The obtained results can be used to create photonic devices containing the H*-aggregates.

Femtosecond optical nonlinearities and ultrafast absorption dynamics of colloidal 2D organometal halide ((C12H25–NH3)2PbI4) nanoparticles and thin films

Layered 2D Inorganic-Organic (IO) hybrid semiconductors of the type (R–NH3)2PbI4 have shown tremendous potential applications in various photonics and optoelectronic devices. In this work, femtosecond laser induced optical nonlinearities and excited state charge carrier dynamics of organometal halide (C12H25–NH3)2PbI4 (C12PI) 2D colloidal nanoparticles (NPs) and the thin film counterpart are investigated. These colloidal 2D NPs of sizes ∼9 nm, show third-order optical nonlinearity having two-photon absorption coefficient (2PA) (β∼26-23 cm/GW) and positive nonlinear refractive index (n2∼7.6 × 10−2 cm2/GW), while thin films show β∼78–134 cm/GW and n2∼0.003-0.2 × 10−2 cm2/GW. The origins of two-photon induced absorption and Kerr-type refractive nonlinearity are as a result of induced molecular polarization and charge transfer effects between organic cation (C12H25–NH3)+ and inorganic anion (PbI6 octahedra). The ultrafast transient absorption spectral studies demonstrate the room-temperature Mott-type exciton excited-state charge carrier dynamics and charge carrier recombination features. The laser pump intensity dependent transient absorption spectral (TAS) features reveal wide information about ground state bleaching (GSB∼510 nm, ΔA<0 with decay of 28.2–3.2 ps) along with a photo-induced absorption (PIA∼476 nm, ΔA>0, with decay of 22–6.3 ps) regions. The systematic studies of optical nonlinearities and ultrafast absorption dynamics of 2D IO hybrid semiconductor colloidal nanoparticles and thin film will provide a new platform for advanced photonics and ultrafast optical switching devices applications.

Synthesis and the spectral, electrochemical, and nonlinear optical properties of β-dicyanovinyl-appended 'push-pull' porphyrins.

A series of "push-pull" porphyrins, MTPP(MN)(TPA)2 (M = 2H, CuII, NiII, and ZnII), having triphenylamine (TPA) and dicyanovinyl (DCN) groups at antipodal positions were synthesized and characterised by UV-Vis, fluorescence and NMR spectroscopic techniques, MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry, cyclic voltammetry, DFT, and elemental analysis, which were then further utilized for third-order nonlinear optical measurements under mild conditions using femtosecond laser pulses. Remarkably, MTPP(MN)(TPA)2 (M = 2H, CuII, NiII, and ZnII) exhibited 21-48 nm and 38-80 nm bathochromic shifts in B and Qx(0,0) bands as compared to the corresponding MTPPs (M = 2H, CuII, NiII, and ZnII); the results are consistent with the effect of enhanced resonance due to TPA and -I effect of DCN moieties. In cyclic voltammetry, the push-pull porphyrins exhibited a cathodic shift (0.13-0.51 V) in their first oxidation potential as compared to the precursor owing to the presence of electron-donating TPA groups. The third-order nonlinear optical responses were recorded using a single-beam femtosecond Z-scan technique to retrieve information about the nonlinear absorption and nonlinear refraction of the samples. The two-photon absorption coefficients (β) are in the range of 0.87 × 10-13 to 4.28 × 10-13 m W-1 and the nonlinear refractive index (n2) in the range of 1.21 × 10-19 to 7.36 × 10-19 m2 W-1. The ultrafast absorption dynamics of the ground-state bleaching (GSB) and photo-induced absorption (PIA) are monitored by femtosecond broadband transient absorption studies. The strong nonlinearity of these push-pull porphyrins makes them potential candidates for nonlinear optical and photonic device applications.

Power Dependent Hot Carrier Cooling Dynamics in Trioctylphosphine Capped CsPbBr3 Perovskite Quantum Dots Using Ultrafast Spectroscopy

AbstractHerein, a strategy has been executed to reduce the trap states in as‐synthesized CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) by using the capping of trioctylphosphine (TOP) which is further evident by the ultrafast spectroscopic technique. Moreover, the excitation source powers and unvarying excitation energy‐dependent studies were carried out to compare the hot carrier (HC) cooling dynamics in the PQDs and TOP‐capped CsPbBr3 PQDs (TOP‐PQDs) to explain the diminution of trap states in TOP‐PQDs. The HC cooling time has been calculated and found that 469.2 fs for PQDs whereas 394.8 fs is for TOP‐PQDs, respectively. From these HC cooling times, it can be concluded that TOP‐PQDs is more capable to intensify the process of HC relaxation from the higher energy states to the conduction band and contribute to suppress the charge trappings that supports the radiative recombination, which demonstrates the enhancement in the PL intensity and PLQY (i. e., 98.8 %). Likewise, and simultaneously at the excitation wavelength e.g., , TOP‐PQDs show an improved ground state bleaching (GSB) intensity signal than PQDs at three excitation source powers in the following order: TOP‐PQDs PQDs , TOP‐PQDs PQDs , and TOP‐PQDs PQDs , respectively.
