摘要
Nonlinear spectroscopy and microscopy techniques are ubiquitous in a wide range of applications across physics and biology. However, these usually rely on high-powered pulsed laser systems. A promising alternative is to exploit entangled two-photon absorption (ETPA), which can lead to tens of orders of magnitude lower incident fluxes than in conventional two-photon absorption schemes. However, the role of different entangled degrees of freedom in ETPA was unclear following recent experimental studies, when compared to earlier theoretical works. Here, we first demonstrate a linear dependence of the ETPA rate with the photon-pair rate, a clear signature of ETPA, and estimate the values for the concentration-dependent ETPA cross section for Rhodamine 6G. We then investigate the signature of energy-time entanglement and polarization dependence in the ETPA fluorescence rate and demonstrate a strong dependence of the signal on the interphoton delay that reflects the coherence time of the entangled two-photon wave packet.
