We synthesized the mesoionic compound 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-methyl-4-(4-methylphenyl)-1,3-thiazole-5-thiolate and measured its refractive and absorptive nonlinear optical response in different temporal and spectral regimes. The experiments were performed by using the Z-scan technique with two pulsed light sources: the second harmonic (at 532 nm) of a mode-locked and Q-switched Nd-YAG laser (100 ps, 10 Hz) and a Ti: Sapphire laser system (100 fs, 1 kHz) operating at 800 nm. The observation and characterization of nonlinear refraction, two- and three-photon absorption, and excited state absorption of the mesoionic compound dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide, in different concentrations, are presented and discussed with basis on the population redistribution in a three-energy-level model that allows the determination of the parameters which characterize the nonlinear response.
