Vibrational resonance enhanced broadband multiphoton absorption in a triphenvlamine derivative

摘要

Multiphoton absorption of 2,5-bis[4-(2-N,N-diphenylaminostyryl)phenyl]-l,3,4-oxadiazole was experimentally studied by using femtosecond laser pulses. This material demonstrates a very broad multiphoton absorption band of around 300 nm width with two peaks of 1250 and 1475 nm. The first peak results from the three-photon absorption process while the second is attributed to the vibrational resonance enhanced four-photon absorption process. Combination of these two processes provides a much broader multiphoton absorption band. In this letter, the analytical solution to nonlinear transmission of a three-photon absorption process is also given when the incident beam has a Gaussian transverse spatial profile.
