Abstract

Multiphoton absorption (MPA) is a nonlinear optical process that involves simultaneous absorption of two or more photons by a material to promote its ground state to an excited state. Multiphoton absorption promises many important applications such as multi-dimensional fluorescence imaging, three dimensional (3D) data storage. Physical and chemical properties of nanometer sized semiconductor materials change drastically due to quantum size effect. Combination of both multiphoton absorption and quantum effects will be an interesting study. Multiphoton absorption of semiconducting nanomaterials is an exciting phenomenon which promotes many important applications. This paper reviews multi-photon absorption properties of different kinds of semiconducting nanomaterials starting from chalcogenide-based nanomaterials to perovskites nanomaterials and their applications in various fields.
