Two-photon absorption coefficients in ultraviolet-grade optical fibers are measured in the range of 219-260 nm. A frequency-doubled tunable dye laser is used as the light source. The two-photon absorption coefficient increases exponentially with an increase in the photon energy. The exciton peak does not appear in the spectrum. Theoretical values are calculated by the Keldysh formula and compared with the experimental results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
