Abstract: We present our experimental results on the measurement of third-order optical nonlinearity in the ns and ps domain, in several Tetra Tolyl Porphyrin molecules (TTP), using degenerate four wave mixing (DFWM) and Z-Scan techniques. Our results indicate a very high value of nonlinearity for these molecules in the ns domain and reasonably high values in the ps domain. They are found to exhibit a strong nonlinear absorption at both 532 nm and 600 nm. The high value of nonlinearity for ns pulses is attributed to higher excited singlet and triplet states. Time-resolved studies indicate an ultra-fast temporal evolution of the nonlinearity in these molecules.
