Abstract
The fluorescence behavior of a chiral polybinaphthyl excited with laser pulses was investigated in tetrahydrofuran solution. The peak fluorescence intensity versus the input irradiance was measured to meet a square dependence, giving evidence for two-photon excited fluorescence (TPF). The variations of the TPF intensity were found to be strongly modulated by the different polarized incident lights and tightly depend on the linearly polarized component of the incident light. Furthermore, combining with the characteristics of chiral molecules, the two-photon polarization ratio was studied to reveal the symmetry of the involved excited states.
