Issue Date: | 7-Jul-2008 | Citation: | Gu, B., Ji, W. (2008-07-07). Two-step four-photon absorption. Optics Express 16 (14) : 10208-10213. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1364/OE.16.010208 | Abstract: | We report a theoretical investigation of effective four-photon absorption (4PA) process and propose a two-step 4PA model of threephoton-induced excited-state absorption (ESA). Based on three-level rate-equation theory, we find an analytical result for the effective 4PA coefficient that depends on the three-photon absorption (3PA) cross-section, excited-state photophysical properties, and laser pulse duration. We present the analytical theory of the z-dependent nonlinear transmission for straightforwardly yet unambiguously evaluating the 3PA and effective 4PA coefficients simultaneously. © 2008 Optical Society of America. | Source Title: | Optics Express | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/98491 | ISSN: | 10944087 | DOI: | 10.1364/OE.16.010208 |
