Two-photon and multi-photon excitation of naphthalene in the vapor phase,studied by excitation and fluorescence spectra

Naphthalene vapor is irradiated by μsec dye laser pulses of 150 kW peak power and a spectral bandwidth of 0.3 nm. A two-photon excitation spectrum is detected by monitoring the near UV fluorescence as a function of laser wavelength which is tuned between 570 and 610 nm. The fluorescence obtained by irradiation into the strongest band of the two-photon spectrum could be spectroscopically resolved using a bandwidth of 80 cm^?1. The spectrum exhibits vibrational structure which lies on a strong non-resolved background. From information in both spectra it can be definitely concluded that vibronic levels of B_3u × b_3u species in the lowest singlet state are predominantly excited in a two-photon process. The non-resolved background in the fluorescence spectrum is attributed to subsequent excitation of the two-photon state by a third photon. Further stepwise excitation in the strong radiation field of the laser is also taken into account.

Two-photon excitation induced fluorescence of a trifluorophore-labeled DNA

Two-photon excitation of a trifluorophore (6-carboxyfluorescein, N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-6-carboxyrhodamine and cyanine-5 monofunctional dye) labeled DNA, which has a scaffold of 26 nucleotides, was achieved using focused laser light of a Q-switched Nd-YAG laser (1064 nm). The observed fluorescence signature (emission ratio from the three fluorophores) of the labeled DNA after two-photon excitation is very different from the fluorescence signatures produced by one-photon excitation at different wavelength. The additional fluorescence signatures produced by two-photon excitation of the fluorescent oligonucleotides will facilitate their use as combinatorial fluorescence energy transfer tags for multiplex genetic analysis.     

Fluorescence of proteins induced by two-photo absorption

At room temperature, the UV fluorescence of trypsin, thyroglobulin, hemoglobin and ablumin are observed; these molecules undergo two-photon absorption when they are excited with the radiation of a frequency-duplicated Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. It is shown that the fluorescence of these proteins comes from the tryptophan residues and that it has a red shift of about 20 nm relative to the one-photon fluorescence. We suggest that the weak emission from tyrosine arises from the forbidden two-photon transition. The influence of concentration on the fluorescence of hemoglobin and tryptophan is discussed. The two-photon absorption cross-sections are estimated.     

Two-photon absorption of photochromic diarylethene and its application to rewritable holographic recording

A new photochromic diarylethene (1a) has been prepared. Both its photochromic behavior and nonlinear optical properties are investigated. 1a shows excellent ring-opening (λ_max = 386 nm) and ring-closing (λ_max = 652 nm) photoisomerization with UV-Vis light irradiation. With 800 nm femtosecond pulsed laser irradiation, 1a shows two-photon-induced photoisomerization, and a two-photon absorption cross-section (σ = 423×10⁵⁰ cm⁴·s per photon) is obtained by using two-photon induced fluorescence method. The applications of two-photon absorption of 1a to holographic recording has been also investigated. A two-photon induced micro-pattern is recorded on the diarylethene 1a-PMMA film with an femtosecond laser of 800 nm, 100 fs, 1 kHz, 50 mW.

Two new three-branched fluorenylene-vinylene derivatives were synthesized by triple Heck-type or Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reactions.

These compounds, which combine very high solubility in organic solvents, high fluorescence quantum yield and giant two-photon absorption cross-sections in the red-NIR region (up to 3660 GM, in the femtosecond regime) are promising candidates for both optical power limiting applications and two-photon laser scanning microscopy.     

Two-photon excitation of 2,5-diphenyloxazole using a low power green solid state laser

This Letter concerns two-photon excitation of 2,5-Diphenyloxazole (PPO) upon illumination from a pulsed 532 nm solid state laser, with an average power of 30 mW, and a repetition rate of 20 MHz. A very agreeable emission spectrum position and shape has been achieved for PPO receiving one- and two-photon excitation, which suggests that the same excited state is involved for both excitation modes. Also, a perfect quadratic dependence of laser power in the emission intensity function has been recorded. We tested the application of a small solid state green laser to two-photon induced time-resolved fluorescence, revealing the emission anisotropy of PPO to be considerably higher for two-photon than for one-photon excitation.
