Nonlinear optical properties of tetrapyrrole compounds and prospects for their application (a review)

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Spectroscopy Aims and scope

Abstract

The phenomenological description of second-(χ(2)) and third-order (χ(3)) nonlinear optical phenomena and studies on nonlinear optical properties of tetrapyrrole molecules are reviewed. Issues of the formation of two-photon absorption spectra of tetrapyrrole compounds and ways to synthesize new molecular systems possessing high nonlinear optical parameters are presented and discussed in detail. The experience of use of the nonlinear optical properties of tetrapyrrole compounds in industry, medicine, and biology and future trends in this area are presented and analyzed.
