Two- photon absorption spectroscopy of inorganic compounds

Abstract

Two-photon absorption spectroscopy (TPAS) is a powerful spect electronic structures of excited states that are not accessible under one-p TPAS in microscopy and photodynamic therapy are growing, as two- pho penetrate biol. tissues. While there is both a fundamental and prac properties of dyes and other photoactive compds., lab. studies are cons and optics required to cover a broad tuning range. We demonstrate h pumped OPO system can be utilized to obtain TPA spectra of inorg. comp obtained TPA spectra for the ruthenium(II) bipyridyl complex, Ru(bpy)_3^(2+) photoreductants. We show that this methodol. can be further extended metal carbonyl compds.
