Cyanine dyes with exceptional third-order nonlinear optical figures-of-merit for all-optical switching

A molecular design strategy that involves favorable control of one- and two-photon absorption resonances to produce exceptional nonlinear optical figures-of-merit for all-optical switching has been realized in a series of cyanines dyes.
