Abstract
Using two-color fluorescence dip spectroscopy, we observed two-photon
absorption processes (TPA) in Rhodamine 6G occurring in concert with fluorescence
depletion processes (FD). A nano-second pulse erase beam in the near-infrared region
was applied to induce TPA together with FD. It was found that the fluorescence
intensity strongly depends on the photon-flux of the erase beam and that the
effective TPA cross-section for the nano-second laser pulse is smaller than that for
a femto-second laser pulse. This phenomenon can be interpreted as resulting from FD
induced by a multiple-excitation process.
