Abstract

The pyrene derivative (PD) was synthesized with pyrene-1-carboxaldehyde and p-aminoazobenzene by a Schiff base reaction. Then the obtained PD was dispersed in polyurethane (PU) prepolymer to prepare polyurethane/pyrene derivative PU/PD materials with good transmittance. The nonlinear optical (NLO) performances of the PD and PU/PD materials were studied by the Z-scan technique under picosecond and femtosecond laser pulses. The PD has reverse saturable absorption (RSA) properties under the excitation of 532 nm 15 ps pulses, 650 and 800 nm 180 fs pulses, and a low optical limiting (OL) threshold (${0.01}\;{\rm{J}}/{{\rm{cm}}^2}$). The PU/PD has a larger RSA coefficient than that of the PD under 532 nm 15 ps pulses. With the enhanced RSA, the PU/PD materials exhibit excellent OL (OL) performance. Good NLO properties, high transparency, and easy processing performances make the PU/PD an excellent choice for use in OL and laser protection fields.
