Metal complexes have been gaining attention in recent times over the traditional inorganic materials such as nonlinear optical materials. Here, we report both two-photon absorption (2PA) and second harmonic generation (SHG) from single crystals of two Ag(I) complexes with considerable optical anisotropy. We demonstrate that by controlling the incident light polarization, the tunability between these two nonlinear optical processes can be achieved. The values of the observed SHG from one complex are determined to be one order of magnitude greater than β-BBO crystals.

Novel coumarin-triphenyliminophosphorane (TPIPP) fluorophores, synthesized via a nonhydrolytic Staudinger reaction, exhibit remarkable redox-responsive optical properties. Upon chemical and electrochemical oxidation, these compounds display a hypsochromic shift in absorption from 430 to 350 nm, accompanied by up to 11-fold fluorescence enhancement under 405 nm excitation. The fluorescence switching occurs at an electrochemical oxidation potential of approximately +2.

Given their molecular properties and electronic structure, graphyne and graphdiyne are promising materials with numerous applications in different fields of material science. Dehydrobenzoannules (DBAs) are candidates that can serve as building blocks for synthesizing and designing new 2D carbon allotropes; however, only a few graphynes have been produced on a practical scale. Herein, we present our investigation of three DBAs, which serve as a model to understand the relationship between the structure and property, contributing to 2D carbon allotropes' rational design and synthetic effort.

It is highly required to rationally design fluorescent probes a molecular engineering strategy with desired analytical performance for applications in sensing and imaging. Reaction-based fluorescent probes for highly selective sensing of cysteine (Cys) are mainly based on the participation of Cys in reactions such as, addition-cyclization with acrylates, cyclization with aldehydes, coordination displacement, Michael addition reactions, and cleavage reactions. Cys-triggered reactions with the O atoms of ether bonds has also been used to construct reaction-based fluorescent probes based on the substitution of the ether with the nucleophilic thiolate of Cys.

The physical picture for photocurrent injection and coherent control in intrinsic graphene under two-color laser excitation remains obscure. Previously, photocurrent injection of intrinsic graphene was attributed to the quantum interference between two electronic transition pathways of single-photon and two-photon absorptions as well as layer-to-layer coupling. Here, we show that quantum interference between stimulated electronic Raman scattering and single-photon absorption plays a very important role in contributing to the total photocurrent, while interlayer coupling does not sufficiently affect the photocurrent injection, which is in contrast to the previous interpretation of the experimental results on photocurrent injection and coherent control.

Transition metal based optical limiting materials have garnered significant attention due their crucial role in protecting sensitive optical system from high intense laser damage. Transition metal molybdates exhibits nonlinear optical (NLO) response, which attenuate highly intense light by transmitting light of desired intensity. Herein we report Silver molybdate (AgMoO) nanostructures doped with erbium (Er) ions were successfully synthesized by simple co-precipitation technique.
