Measurements. Two-photon absorption can be measured by several techniques. Some of them are two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF), z-scan, self-diffraction or nonlinear transmission (NLT ). Pulsed lasers are most often used because TPA is a third-order nonlinear optical process, and therefore is most efficient at very high intensities.
The z-scan method was generalized to allow the measurement of very low values of ? 2 at moderate intensities. For purpose of demonstration, the generalized method was used to measure the ? 2 of Rhodamine 6G dissolved in methanol at 806 nm. The results confirm that the generalized z-scan is a simple method to determine the two-photon cross section of molecules.
