Ultrafast optical nonlinearities in aluminum phthalocyanine organic thin films and a picosecond all-optical organic etalon switch.

The history of femtosecond laser pulse generation is summarized and a current state-of-the-art femtosecond laser system described. The femtosecond pulses are used to observe coherent coupling effects in a fluoro-aluminum phthalocyanine thin film. The polarization dependency of the coherent coupling...
