Synthesis and characterization of a novel charge transfer compound with large three-photon absorption cross section
A new intramolecular charge transfer compound containing diethylamino group as electronic donor and oxadiazole group as electronic acceptor has been synthesized using Wittig-Horner reaction. This long conjugated molecule has large three-photon absorption cross section excited at 1.06 mum lasing.
