Absolute Two-Photon Absorption Spectra and Two-Photon Brightness of Orange and Red Fluorescent Proteins

Two-photon absorption spectra of carotenoids compounds

Fluorescent two-photon nanolithography.

Improving the excitation conditions in two-photon fluorescent lithography reduces the size of the fabricated structures to nanometre scales. We demonstrate that a precise control of the illumination profile and the scanning speed of the laser beam is enough to decrease the photo-polymerization volume of resins by orders of magnitude. This work also shows experimental evidence of surface effects...

Vibration and two-photon absorption

A treatment of nuclear vibrational motions in two-photon absorption is laid out in detail. Perturbation theory is used to develop working formulas for diatomic molecules and tested for the X S – A P transition of carbon monoxide. The results are compared with the exact numerical values. Certain vibrational contributions, not previously recognized, are found to make an important contribution to ...

Non-Condon Effects in the One- and Two-Photon Absorption Spectra of the Green Fluorescent Protein

We report calculations of one and two photon absorption (OPA and TPA, respectively) spectra of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) chromophore using the doubleharmonic parallel-mode approximation and including explicit dependence of the electronic transition moments on nuclear geometry. The non-Condon effects are found to be more significant for TPA resulting in a different shape of the spectra...

Non-degenerate Two Photon Absorption Spectra of Si Nanocrystallites

The two-photon absorption (TPA) spectrum is an important optical property of semiconductors. It brings valuable information complementary to the one-photon absorption spectrum, gives the limits to the optical transparency of materials, and causes laserinduced damages. Recently, the TPA spectrum of direct-gap nanocrystallites was calculated by Cotter et al. [1] by using the effective-mass approx...
