We developed a two-step model for effective four-photon absorption (4PA) and derived an analytical solution for the 4PA coefficient. This model allows for simultaneous evaluation of three-photon absorption (3PA) and effective 4PA coefficients.

Area of Science:

  • Nonlinear Optics
  • Quantum Optics
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Four-photon absorption (4PA) is a complex nonlinear optical process.
  • Understanding excited-state absorption (ESA) is crucial for characterizing multiphoton phenomena.
  • Accurate measurement of 3PA and 4PA coefficients is challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To theoretically investigate the effective four-photon absorption (4PA) process.
  • To propose a two-step 4PA model involving three-photon-induced excited-state absorption (ESA).
  • To develop a method for simultaneously evaluating 3PA and effective 4PA coefficients.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing three-level rate-equation theory.
  • Deriving an analytical solution for the effective 4PA coefficient.
