Limitations in fluorescence-detected entangled two-photon-absorption experiments: Exploring the low- to high-gain squeezing regimes
Tiemo Landes, Brian J. Smith, Michael G. Raymer
Abstract
The authors present an experimental study of entangled two-photon absorption in solvated rhodamine 6G, providing strong evidence that the orders-of-magnitude increases in two-photon-absorption efficiency by using entangled light reported in previous studies cannot be explained by the community's current understanding of the process. Thus, the sought-after advantages of using two-photon absorption of time-frequency-entangled photon pairs as a practical tool for enhancing molecular spectroscopy and biological imaging remains elusive.
