The thermal lensing technique is applied to study two-photon absorption of dye molecules in organic solutions. With the use of a differential two-cell thermal lens spectrometer, the contribution due to one-photon absorption by solvent molecules is suppressed. Observed power dependence of the thermal lensing signal confirms the two-photon character of the absorption process.

Measurement of thermal lensing signal as a function of laser power made in Rhodamine B solutions in methanol give clear evidence of two photon absorption process within certain concentration ranges when 488 nm Ar + laser beam is used as the pump source. Only one photon process is found to occur when 514 nm and 476 nm beams are used as the pump.

The photolysis of silane (SiH4) was carried out using the third harmonic of a Nd: YAG laser at 355 nm, at a fixed SiH4 pressure of 350 Torr, varying the laser energy fluence in the range of 30–300 Jcm-2. The emission spectra indicates that the photofragments formed are SiH2, SiH, Si, H2, and H. The (A1B1-X1A1) transitions at 552.7 nm, 525.3 nm, 505.6 nm, and 484.7 nm of SiH2 are due to a two photon absorption process. The (A2Δ-X2π) transitions of SiH at 425.9 nm, 418 nm, 414.2 nm, 412.8 nm and 395.6 nm are due to a three photon absorption process. The brownish white deposit on the cell windows indicates the presence of amorphous silicon (a:Si-H). The two atomic lines of Si(4s1P0→ 3p21D2) at 288.1 nm, and (4s3Pj→ 3P3Pj) at 251.6 nm are observed. The atomic Si transitions are due to a three photon absorption. We observed seven transitions due to molecular hydrogen at wavelengths 577.5 nm, 565.5 nm, 534.4 nm, 542.5 nm, 471 nm, 461.7 nm, and 455.4 nm. These bands are due to a four photon absorption proc6ss. In addition to the molecular bands we also observed hydrogen atomic lines Hβ, Hγ and Hδ.

Ionization Rates

Optical Beam Induced Current (OBIC) measurements are performed on 4H-SiC avalanche diodes with a very thin and a highly doped active region. A pulsed green laser, with a wavelength of 532 nm, illuminates a reverse biased diode leading to generate electron-hole pairs in the space charge region. Comparison between the 4H-SiC bandgap and the incident photon energy shows that single photon absorption process can be neglected and two-photon absorption process dominates in this case. Ionization rates are then extracted from multiplication curve in a high electric field range (3 to 5 MV.cm–1). Results are in good agreement with previous ones obtained on the same diodes using single photon absorption process.
