Abstract

We report optical reflectivity data for single crystals of C₆₀ in the energy range 1.8-4.8 eV. A Kramers—Kronig analysis of the reflectivity spectrum yields an absorption spectrum similar to that of thin films of polycrystalline C₆₀. Based on the general features of the linear absorption spectrum, it would appear unlikely that crystalline C₆₀ manifests exceptionally large second- or third-order optical nonlinearities.
