Three novel nonlinear chromophores with symmetric D--D molecular structure and extended conjugated length were synthesized. Solvatochromism analysis shows great symmetric intramolecular charge transfer occurring in chromophores by the enhancement in the dipole moment between the ground and excited states. The properties of optical power limiting induced by three-photon absorption (3PA) are demonstrated. Large 3PA coeficients and the corresponding molecular cross sections as high as 1074 cm6 s2 were obtained for nanosecond laser pulses at 1.06 m from nonlinear transmission measurements.
