H. Stiel et al., NONLINEAR AND TRANSIENT ABSORPTION-SPECTROSCOPY OF MAGNESIUM(II)-TETRABENZOPORPHYRIN IN SOLUTION, Optics communications, 155(1-3), 1998, pp. 135-143
The excited state properties of magnesium(II)-tetrabenzoporphyrin (Mg-
TBP) were studied by using intensity dependent transmission (non-linea
r absorption), ps-transient absorption and time resolved luminescence
spectroscopy. It was found that there is a strong excited absorption i
n the region around 500 nm, Because there is no or little ground state
absorption in this region the dye is suitable as an optical limiter.
