Two-step four-photon absorption.

چکیده
We report a theoretical investigation of effective four-photon absorption (4PA) process and propose a two-step 4PA model of three-photon- induced excited-state absorption (ESA). Based on three-level rate-equation theory, we find an analytical result for the effective 4PA coefficient that depends on the three-photon absorption (3PA) cross-section, excited-state photophysical properties, and laser pulse duration. We present the analytical theory of the z-dependent nonlinear transmission for straightforwardly yet unambiguously evaluating the 3PA and effective 4PA coefficients simultaneously.

A Non-Demolition Photon Counting Method by Four-Level Inverted Y-Type Atom
The semi-classical model of atom-field interaction has been fully studied for some multilevel atoms, e.g. Vee, L, Cascade X , Y, and inverted Y and so on. This issue is developed into the full-quantum electrodynamics formalism, where the probe and coupling electromagnetic fields are quantized. In this article, we investigate the full-quantum model of absorption and dispersion spectrum of trappe...
متن کاملTWO PHOTON TRANSITIONS IN THE OPTOGALVANIC SPECTRUM OF NEON
Seventeen two-photon transitions for neon have been observed in the 580- 635 nm spectral region for use in the spectroscopic study of its higher excited levels, which are not accessible by one-photon absorption. To compare the two and one-photon absorption signals originating from the same lower level, an effort was made to record single-photon optogalvanic spectrum in the available wavele...
متن کاملFive-Photon Absorption and Selective Enhancement of Multiphoton Absorption Processes
We study one-, two-, three-, four-, and five-photon absorption of three centrosymmetric molecules using density functional theory. These calculations are the first ab initio calculations of five-photon absorption. Even- and odd-order absorption processes show different trends in the absorption cross sections. The behavior of all even- and odd-photon absorption properties shows a semiquantitativ...
متن کاملCharge transfer enhances two-photon absorption in transition metal porphyrins.
Two-photon absorption processes were investigated in electropolymerized Fe(III), Mn(III), and Co(II) 5,10,15,20-tetrakis-(4-hydroxytetraphenyl)porphyrin films. Degenerate four wave mixing (DFWM) spectroscopy with 100 fs pulses in the near-IR spectral region was used. Metalloporphyrins with strong charge transfer (CT) transitions in the linear absorption spectra also show enhanced two-photon abs...
متن کاملSingle photon triggered dianion formation in TCNQ and F4TCNQ crystals
Excited state dynamics in two strong organic electron acceptor systems, TCNQ and F4TCNQ single crystals, was studied. After absorption of a single photon, dianions are formed in both crystals on ultrashort timescale: TCNQ τ < 50 fs, F4TCNQ τ = 4 ps. By use of transient absorption spectroscopy, we demonstrate that the dianion formation in F4TCNQ is mediated by the radical anion precursor which i...
