Abstract: Ultrafast reverse saturable absorption (RSA) in chromophore-based borondipyrro- methenes (BODIPYs) derivatives, 1,7-Diphenyl-3,5-bis(9,9-dimethyl-9H-fluoren-2-yl)- boron-diuoride-azadipyrromethene (ZL-61) and 1,7-Diphenyl-3,5-bis(4-(1,2,2-triphenyl- vinyl)phenyl)-boron-diuoride azadipyrromethene (ZL-22), has been theoretically analyzed with femtosecond (fs) laser pulses at 800 nm and 850 nm. The results are in good agreement with the reported experimental results. The effect of input pulse intensity, pulse width, nonlinear absorption (NLA) coefficients, sample thickness and laser pulse shaping on transmittance has been studied and optimized for high contrast and low-power operation. All-optical fs NOT and the universal NOR and NAND Boolean logic gates have been designed with ZL-61 and ZL-22. The logic gates with top-hat input pulse profile have a sharp switch ON/OFF time compared to the Gaussian input laser profile. Ultrafast operation at relatively low pump intensities opens up exciting prospects for the applicability of BODIPY derivatives for ultrafast low-power all-optical computing and information processing.
