Abstract

The saturable absorption dynamics of DODCI (3,3'-diethyloxadicarbocyanine iodide) is studied by nonlinear transmission measurements. At 527 nm dye solutions in ethylene glycol and methanol are excited with picosecond pulses. In the wavelength region from 581 nm to 628 nm the dye in ethylene glycol is excited with femtosecond laser pulses. At 626 nm P-isomer-enriched DODCI is studied. The experimental transmission curves are analysed using a decoupled N-isomer and P-isomer S-0-S-1-S-m-S-n multilevel system. An S-m --> S-1 absorption recovery time of tau(A)(S1) = (600 +/- 100) fs is determined. The picosecond and femtosecond pulse excitation leads to S-0 --> S-1 ground-state absorption bleaching and S-1 --> S-m first excited-state absorption bleaching. The excited-state absorption cross-sections sigma(ex)(S1) (S-1 --> S-m) and sigma(ex)(Sm) (S-m --> S-n) are determined.
