First Time

Excited states of excitonic molecule have been observed for the first time by direct method of giant two-photon absorption in monoclinic ZnP 2 single crystal. Two excited states with binding energies 3.3 meV and 1.9 meV have been observed in absorption spectra of intense picosecond laser pulses. First one corresponds to rotational excited state. Interpretation of the second one and details of nonlinear absorption spectra are discussed.

Absorption Control

In this paper, we theoretically investigate the control of the non-resonant two-photon absorption induced by two time-delayed laser pulses, and an analytical solution for the dependence of the two-photon transition probability on the time delay and relative carrier-envelope phase of the two laser pulses is achieved. We show that the two-photon absorption can be significantly enhanced or completely suppressed by varying the time delay between the two laser pulses or their relative carrier-envelope phase. We also show that the two-photon absorption can be selectively excited when two excited states are simultaneously excited. Furthermore, we discuss the two-photon absorption control in the molecular system and analyze the effect of the absorption bandwidth on the control efficiency of the two-photon absorption.

Data Yield

We prepared thin films of the conjugated polymer poly(3-butylthiophene) by spin-coating and performed transmission and reflection spectroscopy to characterize the dispersion of linear refractive index and absorption coefficient at in-plane polarization. Slab waveguides of this regiorandom polythiophene derivative have mode propagation losses smaller than 1 dB/cm at wavelengths larger than 1000 nm. We determined the nonlinear refractive index and two-photon absorption of slab waveguides by means of intensity-dependent prism coupling using picosecond laser pulses in the range 700–1300 nm. These data yield the dispersion of the figures of merit, which appear promising for all-optical waveguide switching at wavelengths larger than 1200 nm.
