The linear and nonlinear optical properties of a series of linear and cross-conjugated platinum(II) acetylide complexes that contain extended p-(phenylene vinylene) chromophores are reported. The complexes exhibit very high femtosecond two-photon absorption (2PA) cross section values (σ2 up to 10 000 GM), as measured by nonlinear transmission (NLT) and two-photon excited fluorescence (2PEF) methods. The large 2PA cross sections span a broad range of wavelengths, 570-810 nm, and they overlap with the triplet excited state absorption. Spectral coincidence of high cross section 2PA and triplet absorption is a key feature giving rise to efficient dual-mode optical power limiting (OPL).
