Understanding strong two-photon absorption in pi-conjugated porphyrin dimers via double-resonance enhancement in a three-level model.

We present the two-photon absorption (2PA) spectra of a series of conjugated porphyrin dimers and show that they possess extremely large intrinsic (femtosecond) peak 2PA cross sections, up to sigma2 = 1 x 104 GM in the near-IR region; these are among the highest values measured for any organic molec...
