Abstract

Abstract A new dye trans-4-[p-(N-hydroxyethyl-N-methylamino)styryl]-N-methylpyridinium p-toluene sulphonate (abbreviated as HMASPS) was synthesized, the two-photon absorption (TPA), TPA-induced frequency up-conversion emission, and two-photon pumped (TPP) frequency up-converted lasing properties of HMASPS were experimentally studied. This new dye has a moderate TPA cross-section of σ2 = 6.0 × 10−48 cm4 s photon−1, but exhibits a high lasing efficiency. The net conversion efficiency from the absorbed 1064 nm pump pulse energy to the 630 nm up-converted lasing energy is 4% at a pump energy level of 4mJ.
