Abstract: | This work reports on the effect of temperature on the two-photon absorption cross section of azoaromatic chromophores. A linear decrease in the two-photon absorption cross section with the temperature was observed for several azochromophores. This process was characterized by introducing a two-photon absorption thermal coefficient (ddelta/dT), whose typical values are approximately 2GM/degrees C for all the azochromophores studied here. Such an effect was attributed to thermal induced molecular conformation changes, described by the sum-over-states model and semiempirical calculations, which affect the molecular dipole moments. The characterization of the phenomenon reported here for other nonlinear materials can help in the design of specific applications using two-photon absorption. |
