Abstract: We report the two-photon absorption (TPA) spectrum of (Formula presented) in the wavelength range ?=0.7-1.5 µm. The TPA coefficient ß of the polycrystalline film shows a broad peak, with ߘ25 cm/GW, around 0.95 µm and drops below 3 cm/GW at ?>1.2 µm. We find that the nonlinear absorption, and also the sign of the nonlinear refraction above and below the TPA maximum, are satisfactorily accounted for by modeling the response with a two-photon state positioned at 2.58 eV.
