“…Thanks to a wide variety of potential applications in microscopy, 1−3 microfabrication, 4,5 three-dimensional datastorage, 6,7 optical limiting, 8 and photodynamic therapy, 9,10 two-photon absorption (2PA) materials have been the subject of intensive academic and commercial interest over the past 2 decades, and a number of 2PA dyes have been synthesized 11−13 and investigated. 14−19 Small molecule based 2PA materials have been investigated extensively, and their 2PA cross sections (δ) are as high as 10 5 GM (1 GM = 1 × 10 −50 cm 4 s −1 ), while the literature on 2PA polymers is significantly sparser than that for their small molecule counterparts, most of 2PA polymers exhibited 2PA cross sections below 10 4 GM.…”
