Two-photon absorption standards in the 550-1600 nm excitation wavelength range

Abstract: We present absolute two-photon absorption (2PA) spectra of 15 commercial organic dyes covering an extended range of excitation wavelengths, 550-1600 nm. The 2PA is measured with an estimated accuracy +/-10% using a femtosecond fluorescence excitation method. The data are corrected for the variations of the pulse duration and the beam profile with the excitation wavelength, and are applicable as reference standards for 2PA measurements.

“…As shown in Figure 2C, the two‐photon excitation spectrum of AN in water exhibited a broadband from 690 to 830 nm and the maximum is around 740 nm, which is double of the optimum one‐photon excitation wavelength (370 nm). The AN excitation cross section ( δφ ) at 740 nm is around 25 GM, which is in agreement to the literatures 9, 10. In other words, the intrinsic brightness of the AN is sufficient for two‐photon microscopic applications.…”

“…The corresponding cross-sections for serotonin are shown for comparison and are approximately twofold higher than for propranolol despite the lower extinction coefficients for the former at 295 and 315 nm. For comparison, a second determination of σ 2 for propranolol was made with 2PE at 628 nm using 9-chloroanthracene as a standard with σ 2r = 0.20 GM at 630 nm [25]. Using again the method outlined by Mathai et al [24], a value of σ 2 for propranolol of 0.22 GM at 628 nm was obtained which is in excellent agreement with the value of 0.17 GM units obtained with tryptophan as the standard.…”

“…16 The subscript R indicates the parameters of the fluorescent reference dye fluorescein with well-reviewed Φ F,R = 0.93 and 2P absorption cross-sections σ 2,R . 18,19 For determination of the actual concentrations, absorption measurements were performed at a Lambda 750 UV/VIS spectrometer (Perkin Elmer, Waltham, USA) in the range of 400-600 nm. Fluorescence quantum yields were determined absolutely with the C 9929 integration sphere system (Hamamatsu, Hamamatsu City, Japan).…”
