Abstract
Two-photon absorption (TPA) resonance effects on the ultrafast pump–probe and transient grating (TG) responses of some transparent liquids excited with 400 nm pulses are demonstrated. The contribution of TPA and ground state Raman responses are separated in a TG experiment when the third-order polarization signal is viewed in the appropriate phase-matched direction as shown for the homodyne, TG response of CS 2. The pump–probe dichroic responses of liquids with (CS 2 and CH 3I) and without (H 2O, CCl 4, and CH 3OH) TPA resonances at 200 nm are compared. These results are discussed in the context of a perturbative third-order polarization treatment of TPA.
