Two-Photon absorption cross-section measurement by thermal lens and nonlinear transmission methods in organic materials at 532 nm and 1064 nm laser excitations
Experimental results concerning two-photon absorption (TPA) cross-section measurement using nonlinear transmission (NLT) method and a new pump-probe mode-mismatched thermal lens (TL) scheme, in picosecond regime are reported. Both methods are used in a prospect of comparison. Values of the TPA coefficient and cross-section in three common solvents (Chloroform, Benzene and Nitrobenzene) and new synthesized perylenediimide derivatives (PDI) at 532nm and 1064nm wavelengths are given
