RT Journal Article T1 Toward Two-Photon Absorbing Dyes with Unusually Potentiated Nonlinear Fluorescence Response. A1 Benitez-Martin, Carlos A1 Li, Shiming A1 Dominguez-Alfaro, Antonio A1 Najera, Francisco A1 Pérez-Inestrosa, Ezequiel A1 Pischel, Uwe A1 Andréasson, Joakim AB The combination of two two-photon-induced processes in a Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET)-operated photochromic fluorene-dithienylethene dyad lays the foundation for the observation of a quartic dependence of the fluorescence signal on the excitation light intensity. While this photophysical behavior is predicted for a four-photon absorbing dye, the herein proposed approach opens the way to use two-photon absorbing dyes, reaching the same performance. Hence, the spatial resolution limit, being a critical parameter for applications in fluorescence imaging or data storage with common two-photon absorbing dyes, is dramatically improved.
