Journal ArticleDOI

Two-Photon Absorption, Nonlinear Refraction and Optical Limiting in Semiconductors

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured two-photon absorption coefficients of 10 direct gap semiconductors with band-gap energy Eg varying between 1.4 and 3.7 eV using 1.06 µm and 0.53 um picosecond pulses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiphoton‐absorbing organic materials for microfabrication, emerging optical applications and non‐destructive three‐dimensional imaging

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined non-resonant two-photon absorption (TPA) as the simultaneous absorption of two photons, via a virtual state, in a medium TPA exhibits a quadratic dependence of absorption on the incident light intensity, resulting in highly localized photoexcitation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonlinear refraction and absorption: mechanisms and magnitudes

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an in-depth treatment of the various mechanisms by which an incident light beam can produce an intensity- or flux-dependent change in the refractive index and absorption coefficient of different materials.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large nonlinear phase shifts in second-order nonlinear-optical processes.

TL;DR: It is shown that processes such as second-harmonic generation and subsequent downconversion, and parametric mixing in general, can lead to large field-dependent phase shifts for the input beams under a variety of conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonlinear refraction and optical limiting in thick media

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model based on the "constant shape approximation" is used for analyzing the propagation of laser beams within nonlinear refractive materials under most conditions, and the position of the sample with respect to the focal plane, z, is an important parameter in the fluence limiting characteristics of the output.
