We investigate how entanglement can enhance two-photon absorption in a three-level system. First, we employ the Schmidt decomposition to determine the entanglement properties of the optimal two-photon state to drive such a transition, and the maximum enhancement which can be achieved in comparison to the optimal classical pulse. We then adapt the optimization problem to realistic experimental constraints, where photon pairs from a down-conversion source are manipulated by local operations such as spatial light modulators. We derive optimal pulse shaping functions to enhance the absorption efficiency, and compare the maximal enhancement achievable by entanglement to the yield of optimally shaped, separable pulses.

ABSTRACTStrong enhancement of the two photon absorption (TPA) cross section at 812 nm is observed for tetrakis(4-sulphonatophenyl)porphyrin diacid (H4TPPS2-) when a J-type aggregate is formed in water, in comparison to the one observed for the H4TPPS2- monomer in mixture of water, DMSO and urea. Open aperture Z-scan experiments, performed with ultra-short laser pulses, are employed to measure the TPA absorption cross section. The observed enhancement is discussed in terms of possible electronic cooperative effects in the aggregate.
