Approximation expressions for absorption line strengths due to Ω' = 0,1,2,3 ¬ Ω" = 0 (Σ, Π, Δ, and Φ ¬ Σ) transitions for three-, two-, and one-photon absorptions are summarized. Those for three- and two-photon absorptions are used to analyse room temperature (3+1) and (2+1) REMPI (resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization) spectra due to transitions to Rydberg states in HCl and HBr to give spectroscopic parameters. A mechanism of the three-photon excitation process for the (E1 Σ+) ¬ X(1Σ+), (0,0) transition in HCl is proposed. A Rydberg state, not observed in single- or two-photon absorption, with a band origin at 80 167 cm-1 was identified in (3+1) REMPI of HBr and analysed for the first time. It was assigned to the l(3(Φ(Ω' = 3)) ((σ2π3)5dδ) state, (0,0) band. Use of the three-photon absorption line strength expressions for deriving rotational population distributions in ground-state HBr is demonstrated. PACS Nos.: 03.40Kf, 42.65Tg, 42.81Dp

Green Fluorescent

Red fluorescent proteins and biosensors built upon them are potentially beneficial for two-photon laser microscopy (TPLM) because they can image deeper layers of tissue, compared to green fluorescent proteins. However, some publications report on their very fast photobleaching, especially upon excitation at 750–800 nm. Here we study the multiphoton bleaching properties of mCherry, mPlum, tdTomato, and jREX-GECO1, measuring power dependences of photobleaching rates K at different excitation wavelengths across the whole two-photon absorption spectrum. Although all these proteins contain the chromophore with the same chemical structure, the mechanisms of their multiphoton bleaching are different. The number of photons required to initiate a photochemical reaction varies, depending on wavelength and power, from 2 (all four proteins) to 3 (jREX-GECO1) to 4 (mCherry, mPlum, tdTomato), and even up to 8 (tdTomato). We found that at sufficiently low excitation power P, the rate K often follows a quadratic power dependence, that turns into higher order dependence (K~Pα with α > 2) when the power surpasses a particular threshold P*. An optimum intensity for TPLM is close to the P*, because it provides the highest signal-to-background ratio and any further reduction of laser intensity would not improve the fluorescence/bleaching rate ratio. Additionally, one should avoid using wavelengths shorter than a particular threshold to avoid fast bleaching due to multiphoton ionization.

Two Photon Excitation

Two-photon excitation (TPE) profiles of LHCII samples containing different xanthophyll complements were measured in the presumed 11Ag− → 21Ag− (S0 → S1) transition region of xanthophylls. Additionally, TPE profiles of Chls a and b in solution and of WSCP, which does not contain carotenoids, were measured. The results indicate that direct two-photon absorption by Chls in the presumed S0 → S1 transition spectral region of carotenoids is dominant over that of carotenoids, with negligible contributions of the latter. These results suggest the re-evaluation of previously published TPE data obtained with photosynthetic pigment–protein complexes containing (B)Chls and carotenoids.

Key Substances

NO is one of the key substances of air pollution. This paper presents the use of the technique of resonant enhanced multi-photon ionization (REMPI) for NO ambient detection. NO is ionized by absorbing four photons and via A2Σ intermediate resonant state when use 452.4nm laser as radiation source. A physical model concerning the ionization process is presented. It is shown that the ion signal depends on laser character and the dynamic parameters of NO. Two-photon absorption and ionization cross section about the resonant state are obtained from the ion decay curve and the model. The detection limit of this work, which can reach 1.4 ppm, is determined by measuring the variation of the ion signal with the concentration of NO.
