Abstract
We demonstrate improved efficiency and dynamic range for two-photon absorption at 1.5 µm in a photoelectron-counting GaAs photomultiplier tube. cw laser measurements show pure two-photon absorption occurring in the device from average powers of 1.3 µW to nearly 1 mW. We use the detector to implement an autocorrelator with peak-power × average-power sensitivity of 1.7 × 10-4 (mW)2 and discuss practical ways to reduce this figure of merit to as low as 1 × 10-5 (mW)2.
