Yp. Meshalkin, Cross sections for two-photon absorption and geometric dimensions of electron clouds of hydroxybenzene molecules, OPT SPECTRO, 84(2), 1998, pp. 178-182
Cross sections for two-photon absorption of hydroxybenzenes at the 532-nm w
avelength of the second harmonic of a Nd :YAG laser are measured. The resul
ts are interpreted by means of a semiempirical model, which allows one to e
stimate the dimensions of effective pi-electron clouds of phenol, hydroquin
one, resorcin, pyrocatechin, and bromohydroquinone.
