Synthesis of Porphyrin Materials with Optimized Excited State Absorption Properties

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking The Chancellor, Masters and Scholars of the University of Oxford as follows: The contractor will investigate the nonlinear response of porphyrin-based materials to intense laser illumination. Porphyrin-based materials have shown nonlinear coefficients an order of magnitude greater than other organic compounds. The contractor will synthesize and analyze various forms of these materials to optimize their nonlinear optics properties.
