Tóm tắt

An analysis is provided for the discussion of nonlinear optical properties of aggregated dye systems. The intensity-dependent transmission of fluorescein solutions excited by nanosecond dye laser pulses is shown to fit a monomer-dimer equilibrium shifted towards monomer formation by excitation. The implications for spatial light modulation and other nonlinear optical applications are discussed.
