Composite Materials for Optical Limiting

Abstract

This project funded two principle investigators to explore materials for optical limiting. Dr. Charles Spangle's research group synthesized organic and dendritic materials designed to optically limit via reverse saturable absorption (RSA) via photoinduced formation of charged states. Dr. Lee Spangle's research group investigated the spectroscopy, mechanism, and efficiency of photo-induced states in these, and related compounds. Thus, the technical part of the report will be divided into two sections, synthesis and characterization.
