“…[4,5] Nowadays there is a great deal of interest in the designing chromophores with strong nonlinear optical properties in the red region. [6,7] Due to its high photostability, very high quantum yield and high solubility in organic solvents, a large number of coumarin derivatives are studied as fluorescent probes, [8] fluorescent sensors, [9,10] in cell imaging, [11,12] as well as in the field of nanotechnology, [13] and optoelectronics, [14] Simultaneously they have wide uses in the arena of "Organic Light Emitting Diodes" (OLEDs), [15] "Dye Sensitized Solar Cells" (DSSCs), [16][17][18] dye lasers, [19,20] optical brighteners, [21] non-linear optical (NLO) materials, [22] and in biological labeling, [23,24] Photophysical properties of coumarins can be tuned to red emission by the attachment of electron donating group at 7 positions, [25] electron accepting group at 3 and 4 positions, [26] as well as rigidification ofthe donor or acceptor, [25] and increasing the length of conjugation. [27,28] Coumarin based NLO push-pull system possessing donor at 7 positions and acceptor at 3 positions with thiophene unit as π-spacer were preparedprepared and their NLO characteristics were examined by z scan experiment as well as a computational method.…”
