Controlling Two-Photon Action Cross Section by Changing a Single Heteroatom Position in Fluorescent Dyes

The optimization of nonlinear optical properties for "real-life" applications remains a key challenge for both experimental and theoretical approaches. In particular, for two-photon processes, maximizing the two-photon action cross section (TPACS), the figure of merit for two-photon bioimaging spectroscopy, requires simultaneously controlling all its components. In the present Letter, a series of difluoroborates presenting various heterocyclic rings as an electron acceptor have been synthesized and their absorption, fluorescence, photoisomerization, and two-photon absorption features have been analyzed using both experimental and theoretical approaches. Our results demonstrate that the TPACS values can be fine-tuned by changing the position of a single heteroatom, which alters the fluorescence quantum yields without changing the intrinsic two-photon absorption cross section. This approach offers a new strategy for optimizing TPACS.
