Photoacoustic study of two-photon absorption in hexagonal ZnS

Abstract
Photoacoustic detection technique is employed to investigate two-photon absorption (TPA) effects in ZnS over a wide frequency range with polarized 5 nsec dye laser pulses. By analyzing the dispersion and polarization dependence of TPA, we find that near the band gap, the TPA in ZnS occurs via allowed-forbidden type one-step, two-photon transitions.
