Abstract
Developing organic conjugated copolymers with an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) system is an efficient strategy for expanding their applications but is still a challenge for broadband optical limiting (OL). Herein, three thiadiazoloquinoxaline (TQ)-based donor-acceptor (D-A) type copolymers P1, P2, and P3 with different electron-donating groups of thiophene, bithiophene, and di(thiophen-2-yl)ethene, respectively, were reported. Copolymers exhibit low bandgaps of 0.70-0.83 eV attributed to their extended π-conjugation and strong ICT. Interestingly, these copolymers display the nonlinear optical response of reversed saturable absorption (RSA) extending from the visible to near-infrared-II region. P3 exhibits the most excellent RSA property with a nonlinear absorption coefficient (β) value of 17.8 cm GW-1, over double that of P1 and P2. Consequently, P3 displays the most remarkable OL ability with a limiting threshold (Fth) of 8.9 J cm-2 under a laser wavelength of 1600 nm. This study provides a new strategy for developing ultra-broadband OL materials based on well-identified D-A copolymers.
期刊介绍:
ACS Macro Letters publishes research in all areas of contemporary soft matter science in which macromolecules play a key role, including nanotechnology, self-assembly, supramolecular chemistry, biomaterials, energy generation and storage, and renewable/sustainable materials. Submissions to ACS Macro Letters should justify clearly the rapid disclosure of the key elements of the study. The scope of the journal includes high-impact research of broad interest in all areas of polymer science and engineering, including cross-disciplinary research that interfaces with polymer science.
With the launch of ACS Macro Letters, all Communications that were formerly published in Macromolecules and Biomacromolecules will be published as Letters in ACS Macro Letters.
