Abstract

The two-photon excitation spectrum in polycrystalline α-sexithienyl (T6) thin films has been investigated at 4.2 K in the spectral range between 910 and 1180 nm of the fundamental laser radiation. The intense two-photon absorption band at 18 350 cm-1 is assigned to the 2 1Ag exciton band origin. The comparison of the one-photon and two-photon excitation spectra shows that the lowest "gerade" exciton level lies at 898 cm-1 above the lowest one-photon-allowed 1 2Bu exciton level.
