Abstract
Three-photon absorption coefficients and the corresponding three-photo n absorption cross-sections of several simple molecular liquids at 400 nm are obtained from intensity dependent transmission measurements. T he peak power of the femtosecond laser pulses was varied from 10(12) t o 10(15) W/m(2). For all liquids investigated the three-photon absorpt ion coefficient was found to be close to 1 x 10(-27) m(3)/W-2. (C) 199 8 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
