Three-stage pH-switchable organic chromophores with large nonlinear optical responses and switching contrasts

Three-stage pH-switchable organic second-order nonlinear optical (SO NLO) chromophores are synthesized and characterized by wavelength-dependent linear and nonlinear spectroscopy. The chromophores exhibit huge SO NLO responses in their on stages, and large switching contrasts between adjacent stages in both SO NLO response and fluorescence quantum yield, with moreover different on/off sequences for closely related compounds.
