Abstract

The two-photon absorption properties of a series of bis dialkylamino- or diarylamino-substituted diphenylpolyenes and bis(styryl)benzenes have been investigated. Two-photon absorption cross sections, δ, as large as 1420 × 10-50 cm4 s/photon-molecule have been observed for molecules with this general...
