Multiphoton absorption was investigated in single crystals of the polymer poly bis(p-toluene sulfonate) of 2,4-hexadiyne-1,6-diol (PTS). Using modified growth and polymerization techniques, high optical quality crystals were grown and their linear absorption spectrum measured. Very large four-photon absorption was measured using Z-scan with a value of α4=0.3 cm 5/ GW 3 obtained at 1600 nm. From the known one and two-photon absorption spectra, the three- and four-photon spectra are predicted to overlap. This leads to three-photon enhanced, four-photon absorption which is interpreted as the mechanism responsible for such large four-photon absorption.

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.

A series of all-trans acceptor–π-donor (acceptor) compounds (BAQ, SFQ, BLQ, and XJQ) were conveniently synthesised and characterised by infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. Their photophysical properties, including linear absorption, one-photon excited fluorescence, two-photon absorption, and two-photon excited fluorescence, were systematically investigated. All the compounds show obvious solvatochromic effects, such as significant bathochromic shifts of the emission spectra and larger Stokes shifts in more polar solvents. Under excitation from a femtosecond Ti : sapphire laser with a pulse width of 140 fs, they all exhibit strong two-photon excited fluorescence, and the two-photon absorption cross-sections in THF are 851 (BAQ), 216 (SFQ), 561 (BLQ), and 447 (XJQ) GM respectively. A combination of density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) approaches was used to investigate the relationships between the structures and the photophysical properties of these compounds. The results show that they may have a potential application as polarity-sensitive two-photon fluorescent probes.

ABSTRACTMultiphoton excitations of conjugated polymers are related to their optical gap, Eg, which serves as an internal standard. In π-electron models with electron-hole symmetry, the alternation gap Ea is the lowest-energy two-photon absorption (TPA) and increases with the alternation δ of the transfer integrals t(l ± δ) along the backbone. Increasing electron-electron (e-e) correlations shift an intense TPA from 2Eg in the band limit to Eg in the atomic limit. Two-photon spectra and multiphoton resonances in polyenes, polydiacetylenes, and polysilanes are related to interacting electrons in Pariser-Parr-Pople(PPP) models with increasing alternation and either carbon or silicon e-e interactions. Some general features of correlated states of conjugated polymers are discussed in the rigid-lattice limit.

Two-photon absorption spectra of 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole, 2,5-bis(2-benzoxazolyl)phenol and 2,5-bis(2-benzoxazolyl)hydroquinone are modeled by time-dependent density functional theory calculations. In contrast to the linear absorption, where the transitions to the two lowest excited states are leading, the two-photon absorption cross sections are significant for the transitions to higher states which are weak in one-photon absorption spectra. The 2,5-bis(2-benzoxazolyl)phenol and 2,5-bis(2-benzoxazolyl)hydroquinone demonstrate the maximum cross section of about ten times larger than that of 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzoxazole. The largest value of the cross section is calculated for 2,5-bis(2-benzoxazolyl)hydroquinone to be about 1500 units of Goeppert-Mayer for excitation at 600 nm.
