摘要

Materials with large two-photon absorption (TPA) cross section are now gaining increasing attention since these can be exploited in a number of optical applications. In this paper, on the basis of a quantum-chemical INDO/CI method and by using the sum-over-states (SOS) expression, the theoretical predications on the TPA properties for a series of stilbene derivatives were performed. Some mechanism of effect on the TPA property is discussed and the results will provide theoretical basis for those dyes applied as TPA devices.
