  1. Two-photon absorption of organic molecules: fundamentals and applications N.S. Makarov, Prof. A. Rebane Department of Physics, Montana State University, Bozeman • Development of a systematic approach for quantitative description of the 2PA cross section in low-lying transitions of dipolar molecules, where the lowest energy transition is simultaneously allowed for one-photon absorption and 2PA. The 2PA cross section is proportional to the square of the transition dipole moment, square of the difference in permanent dipole moments, and is inverse proportional to the absorption linewidth. • Establishment of a set of reliable 2PA standards with spectra covering a broad range of wavelengths, 550-1600 nm, measured with high fidelity and high wavelength resolution. • Applications of organic molecules in 3D optical memory and fluorescent microscopy.

  13. 3D memory: measured molecular parameters • The change of substituents from butyl groups at -positions to alkoxy groups at -positions (molecule 1 vs. 2) increases 2PA cross-sections by a factor of nearly 2. This also results in the red shift of entire 1PA spectrum by 30 nm (500 cm-1). The 2PA spectrum also experiences the red shift. This shows that addition of oxygen atoms increases -conjugation. • Addition of extra CHO group (molecule 1 vs. 6) results in a slight decrease of 2PA cross-section as compared to better purified compound 1 and in slight increase of the cross-sections compared to 1a and 1b. The 1PA spectrum practically does not change. • Substituting an external benzene ring with another alkoxy group (molecule 4 vs. 6) produces a nearly symmetrical molecule. This shifts both Qx and Qy peaks closer to each other so that they overlap. A similar shift appears in 2PA spectrum. The value of 2PA cross-section reduces by a factor of nearly 2, which is probably because of reduce of the difference in dipole moments in more symmetrical molecule. • Addition of extra hydrogen atoms (molecule 3 vs. 4) reduces degree of symmetry. This slightly increases the 2PA cross-section for molecule 3. However, its cross-section is smaller than for molecules 1 and 6. The reason is more symmetry and thus less difference in dipole moments in the molecule 3 • Change of substituent from molecule 3 to 5 makes the molecule less symmetrical, and thus increase 2PA cross-section. However, molecule 6, and especially 1 have the highest 2PA cross-sections among all studied samples.

  14. 3D memory: Efficiency comparison *For molecules 3 and 5 absorption spectra of tautomer forms significantly overlaps that makes them not practical as photochromes for 3D optical memory

  22. Conclusions • 2PA of 15 commercially available dyes in 550–1600 nm •  10% estimated accuracy of 2PA cross sections • Values are in good agreement with literature data (fluorescence technique) • Data can be used as reference for determining absolute 2PA cross sections and spectra • 2PA cross section in dipolar molecules is evaluated: (a) by direct measurement and (b) by using perturbation theory formula • For at least half of the systems studied, the discrepancy between (a) and (b) is less than 20%, and for all molecules less than 50% • This is the first time that such direct quantitative correspondence is demonstrated for a wide range of molecules • Storage materials need to have high molecular 2PA cross section, 2>103-104 GM • Two-photon sensitivity and the possibility of photochemical transformation are important • Choice of frequency and combination of 1PA and 2PA properties allow minimizing the negative impact of near resonance hot band absorption • Standard laser dye can be used to determine polarity of the local environment via 1PA or 2PA excitation • The same dye is sensitive to pH level • Resonance enhancement of 2PA cross section in proteins is observed • A wider series of the proteins is measured, and the structure-to property relations to be determined allowing for smart mutations of the protein • Spectroscopic properties of a set of proteins are measured
