Recent developments in plasma science and technology have opened new areas of research both for fundamental purposes (e.g., description of key physical phenomena involved in laboratory plasmas) and novel applications (material synthesis, microelectronics, thin film deposition, biomedicine, environment, flow control, to name a few). With the increasing availability of advanced optical diagnostics (fast framing imaging, gas flow visualization, emission/absorption spectroscopy, etc.), a better understanding of the physicochemical processes taking place in different electrical discharges has been achieved. In this direction, the implementation of fast (ns) and ultrafast (ps and fs) lasers has been essential for the precise determination of the electron density and temperature, the axial and radial gradients of electric fields, the gas temperature, and the absolute density of ground-state reactive atoms and molecules in non-equilibrium plasmas. For those species, the use of laser-based spectroscopy has led to their in situ quantification with high temporal and spatial resolution, with excellent sensitivity. The present review is dedicated to the advances of two-photon absorption laser induced fluorescence (TALIF) techniques for the measurement of reactive species densities (particularly atoms such as N, H and O) in a wide range of pressures in plasmas and flames. The requirements for the appropriate implementation of TALIF techniques as well as their fundamental principles are presented based on representative published works. The limitations on the density determination imposed by different factors are also discussed. These may refer to the increasing pressure of the probed medium (leading to a significant collisional quenching of excited states), and other issues originating in the high instantaneous power density of the lasers used (such as photodissociation, amplified stimulated emission, and photoionization, resulting to the saturation of the optical transition of interest).

Intensity dependent quenching and reversal of the two-photon fluorescence patterns in Rhodamine 6G and DPA, of picosecond pulses from a mode-locked ruby laser have been investigated by measurements of the two-photon fluorescence efficiencies of these dyes. While for Rhodamine 6G there was a marked departure from the square law dependence at high laser intensities, the experimental curve for DPA showed no evidence of quenching. When excited by a mode-locked neodymium: glass laser Rhodamine 6G fluorescence was not quenched at fluxes as high as 5 x 10 30 photons cm -2 s -1 but in Rhodamine B quenching appeared at a laser flux of 3 x 10 27 photons cm -2 s -1 . These quenching results and measurements of the absorption of pulses by Rhodamine 6G, previously excited by second harmonic pulses, are explained by the effects of single photon absorption and stimulated emission from the S 1 and S 2 excited singlet states. A square pulse approximation has been employed to solve the general rate equations and the fitting of the calculated curves to the experimental results gave values for the stimulated emission and absorption cross-sections of the S 1 and S 2 states of Rhodamine 6G and for the relaxation time (~ 2 ps) between the vibrational manifolds of these excited states. Taking into account random phase and amplitude fluctuations of the picosecond pulses, time and space averaged two-photon fluorescence profiles, using these values of the dye parameters, showed quenching and reversal of the patterns for the laser pulse intensities at which these effects were experimentally observed. The possibilities of frequency tunable pulses, of transform-limited durations, from mode-locked dye lasers employed with an electro-optical streak camera of time-resolution equal to that of the pulse durations (~ 2 ps) for time-resolved excited state molecular spectroscopy are briefly considered.

Gallium phosphide (GaP) is one of the few available materials with strong optical nonlinearity and negligible losses in the visible (λ > 450 nm) and near-infrared regime. In this work, we demonstrate that a GaP film can generate sub–30-fs (full width at half maximum) transmission modulation of up to ~70% in the 600- to 1000-nm wavelength range. Nonlinear simulations using parameters measured by theZ-scan approach indicate that the transmission modulation arises from the optical Kerr effect and two-photon absorption. Because of the absence of linear absorption, no slower free-carrier contribution is detected. These findings place GaP as a promising ultrafast material for all-optical switching at modulation speeds of up to 20 THz.
