From: Largely Enhanced Saturable Absorption of a Complex of Plasmonic and Molecular-Like Au Nanocrystals

Saturable intensities (IS,p and IS,m) and effective two-photon absorption coefficient (βTPA) as a function of input laser power (P).
(a) Molecular-like AuNCs. (b) Plasmonic AuNCs. (c) Nanocomplex of plasmonic and molecular-like AuNCs. The energy transfer in the nanocomplex leads to a prominent increase in the saturable intensity IS,m of the molecular-like AuNCs and decreases in the two-photon coefficient βTPA and the saturable intensity IS,p of the plasmonic AuNCs.
