title: Novel fluorophore based on a multi-substituted olefin skeleton with enhanced three-photon absorption in the femtosecond regime.
abstract: A new multipolar fluorophore based on a multi-substituted olefin skeleton that possesses strong three-photon absorption and optical-limiting properties in the femtosecond regime has been designed and synthesized; this archetype suggests a new strategy to further optimize molecular structures toward enhanced nonlinear absorptivities based on known materials.
