Abstract
Reverse saturable absorption (RSA) behavior of metallic phthalocyanines at certain wavelengths has been extensively studied in solution.1,2 For practical applications, it would be preferable to have these molecules held in a solid medium. Recently, for this purpose, some were incorporated in xerogel matrices and it was shown that they retained their RSA behavior for ns optical pulses at 532 ran.3,4
