Abstract

We measure and quantitatively analyze two-photon absorption (2PA) spectra and cross sections in a series of Oxazine molecules with varying chemical structures. We compare values of the permanent dipole moment difference (Δμ) obtained by three different methods: (a) 2PA cross sections using two-level approximation; (b) Stark spectroscopy, and (c) solvatochromic shifts. The first two methods give coinciding Δμ values, thus justifying two-level approximation, while solvatochromic shifts measurements yield systematically higher Δμ values. Possible reasons for such a discrepancy are discussed.
