Abstract
The single-photon fluorescence (SPF) of IR125 can be enhanced when the laser polarization changes from linear through elliptical to circular A. Nag and D. Goswami, J. Chem. Phys. 132, 154508 (2010). In this paper, we further explain and discuss the physical control mechanism. Our theoretical and experimental results demonstrate that the SPF enhancement can be attributed to the nonresonant two-photon absorption of a higher excited state. We conclude that the SPF intensity involving the nonresonant multiphoton absorption of the higher excited state can be controlled by varying the laser polarization.
