Simultaneous absorption of two photons of identical or different frequencies to excite a system that is atom or molecule from the ground state to excited state has great importance. It has an important role as a spectroscopic tool for determining the positions of energy levels that are not connected to the atomic ground state by the one-photon transition. In this work, experimental study of two-photon absorption of fused silica, quartz crystal, and metal halides and optical limiters based on the semiconductors are studied. It was investigated that two photons absorption depletes the transmitted beam but carrier defocusing spreads the beam in space and hence density is reduced. It was realized that limiters with thin samples have low dynamic range and fluency is high on the damage-prone surface and irreversible damage occurs. Some Semiconductors with high nonlinearity are found to be useful materials for optical limiters to protect devices like sensors. BIBECHANA 18 (2) (2021) 26-31

We study non-resonant two-photon absorption in the B band of Na2 with femtosecond pulses. The computer simulations show attenuated Rabi oscillations using coincident pulses that can be overcome by initially preparing a wave packet in the ground state. Time-delayed pulse sequences intrinsically protect the adiabatic passage of population, but the process can be accelerated starting with the packet.

ABSTRACTTo understand the properties of light-sensitive compounds used in optical limiters having photoinduced charge transfer mechanisms, we have investigated the photophysics of a series of di(2-thienyl-3,3'-butyl)polyenes. Spectroscopic measurements, including UV/Vis, fluorescence, fluorescence lifetimes, fluorescence quantum yields, triplet state lifetime, solvent effects and two-photon absorption coefficient were obtained as a function of the number of double bonds(n = 1-5). Trends in the data reflected the ordering, energy gap between and mixing of 1Bu* and 1Ag* excited state configurations.
