Ultrafast third-order non-linear optical response of Diels-Alder adduct of fullerene C-60 with a metallophthalocyanine

The third-order optical non-linearity of a Diels-Alder adduct of fullerene C-60 With a copper phthalocyanine was investigated using the femtosecond time-resolved optical Ken gate method at 830 nm wavelength. Its non-resonant second-order hyperpolarizability was estimated to be 5.4 x 10(-31) esu. The non-linearity enhancement from the formation of the intramolecular charge-transfer complex is discussed.
