The nondegenerate two-photon excited fluorescence (ND-TPEF) and nondegenerate two-photon absorption (ND-TPA) cross-sections of two common fluorescent dyes were investigated using the femtosecond pump-probe technique at several wavelength combinations. Time-resolved and laser intensity dependent fluorescence revealed that the fluorescence was originated from the ND-TPA effect. Experimental ND-TPA cross-section exhibited larger values than corresponding degenerate two-photon absorption case. Additionally, an improved essential-state model involving multiple TPA excited states was proposed to evaluate the TPA cross-section of organic molecules, which showed good agreement with experimental results. This study indicates that the investigated fluorescent dyes would play important roles in multicolor two-photon imaging.

A dibenzothiophene-based two-photon photopolymerization (TPP) initiator named E,E-1,4-bis[3-vinyl-dibenzothiophene]-2,5-dimethoxybenzene (VBPMOB) with intense two-photon fluorescence (TPF) was investigated by UV–visible, fluorescence, pump–probe and time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopies. The maximum two-photon absorption (TPA) cross-section of VBPMOB in DMF was determined to be 274[Formula: see text]GM. In addition, the TPA cross-section at 800[Formula: see text]nm was 230[Formula: see text]GM, which is the most commonly used wavelength for TPP. The ultrafast spectra result indicated that after excitation, the VBPMOB molecule will first undergo a fast internal conversion process to form an intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) state with a certain width followed by relaxation of the ICT state with fluorescence emission.

In this work we apply a combination of steady state and time resolved luminescence and absorption spectroscopies to investigate the excited-state dynamics of a recently developed molecular photoswitch, belonging to the hydrazone family. The outstanding properties of this molecule, involving fluorescence toggling, bistability, high isomerization quantum yield and non-negligible two-photon absorption cross section, make it very promising for numerous applications. Here we show that the light induced Z/E isomerization occurs on a fast <1 ps timescale in both toluene and acetonitrile, while the excited state lifetime of the Z-form depends on solvent polarity, suggesting a partial charge transfer nature of its low lying excited state. Time-resolved luminescence measurements evidence the presence of a main emission component in the 500–520 nm spectral range, attributed to the Z-isomer, and a very short living blue-shifted emission, attributed to the E-isomer. Finally, transient absorption measurements performed upon far-red excitation are employed as an alternative method to determine the two-photon absorption cross-section of the molecule.

A series of branched styryl derivatives based on 1,3,5-triazine were studied by nonlinear optical property measurement, degenerated pump-probe, and time-resolved fluorescence anisotropy methods to elucidate the two-photon absorption (TPA) properties and intramolecular interactions between branches. Significant enhancement of the TPA cross-section was observed in multi-branched derivatives. The anisotropy of multi-branched compounds shows faster decay and small residual values, indicating strong intramolecular interactions between branches, which further confirmed the TPA enhancement mechanism.

AbstractA series of tetradonor substituted [2.2]paracyclophane-based two-photon absorption (TPA) fluorophores were designed, synthesized and characterized. Different substituents were chosen to modulate the conjugation and the donor strength and to allow the molecules to be neutral (N series, organic-soluble) or charged (C series, water-soluble). The overall set of compounds series allows us to examine the correlation among the solvent polarity, donor ability of the substituents, and TPA action cross section (ηδd, where δ is the TPA cross section and η is the quantum yield). In water, a significant drop of both δ and η is observed, approximately one-third relative to those in toluene. Weaker donors and/or weaker acceptors with enhanced conjugation are a better choice due to a minimized quenching related to strong charge transfer (CT) upon excitation. One thus needs to fine-tune the magnitude of CT and find an optimal balance among CT,δ and η.
