<div><p><em>Molecules with high two-photon absorption (TPA) cross section and the molecules which have reverse saturation absorption (RSA) cross section are of great interest today because of their application in three-dimensional optical data storage and photonic switches. During last forty years, several techniques have been developed to determine the two-photon absorption cross-sections and reverse saturation absorption cross-sections of the materials. This includes direct methods, such as nonlinear transmission and Z-scan methods and indirect methods, such as two-photon excited fluorescence and two-photon pump-probe transient absorption spectroscopy. During recent years, the organic dye-doped polymer films getting more attention due to their advantages to fabricate photonics devices. In this paper, we have studied the nonlinear optical properties like nonlinear absorption and nonlinear refraction of an azo dye Disperse yellow-7 (DY-7) doped in Polymethyl methacrylate-methacrylic acid (PMMA-MA) polymer matrix using open aperture and closed aperture Z-scan experimental methods using continuous wave (CW) laser. The optical limiting properties of these films are also studied in Type 1 and Type 2 configurations at different input power using continuous wave (CW) laser beams of 532 nm wavelength.</em></p></div>

Ever since researchers first probed materials with light, a natural question they have asked pertains to the strength of this interaction. Can materials be made to more strongly absorb light at certain wavelengths, thereby yielding vibrant colors? Can the nonlinear interaction between two beams be used to make an optical switching device? How efficiently can we convert the frequency of light through a nonlinear interaction? All of these questions, in effect, are the same. Equivalently, the question can be phrased as, "how large can we make the linear or the nonlinear susceptibility?" In this paper, we apply sum rules to calculate the maximum limit of the doubly resonant two-photon absorption cross-section. We find that even for a single electron system, the cross-section can exceed δ=105 GM .

Two simple small molecules based on diphenylamine (T1) and carbazole (T2) have been synthesized and characterized. Both dyes exhibit extraordinary aggregation-induced emission enhancement properties and high corresponding quantum efficiencies of 11.5% and 16.0%. The value of the two-photon absorption cross-section for T1 is 1240 GM.
