Two-Photon Absorption Calculator - Calculate TPA Coefficient

Calculate two-photon absorption coefficient (β) from wavelength, intensity, and pulse duration. Essential tool for microscopy, photodynamic therapy, and laser research.

Two-Photon Absorption Calculator

Calculates the two-photon absorption coefficient (β) from your laser parameters. Enter wavelength, peak intensity, and pulse duration to estimate how efficiently your material absorbs two photons simultaneously.

Formula Used

β = K × (I × τ) / λ²

Where:

  • β = Two-photon absorption coefficient (cm/GW)
  • K = Constant (1.5)
  • I = Intensity (W/cm²)
  • τ = Pulse duration (fs)
  • λ = Wavelength (nm)
nm

The wavelength of the incident light (400-1200 nm is typical)

W/cm²

The intensity of the incident light (typically 10¹⁰ to 10¹⁴ W/cm²)

fs

The duration of the light pulse (typically 10-1000 fs)

Result

Enter valid parameters to calculate the result
