Abstract

Two photon absorptions (TPA) in conjugated polymers with large bond alternation are reinterpreted. TPA to the 2A g in long chains should be tiny due to cancellation effects, and therefore the observed strong, narrow TPA is to a higher even parity state. We also present the first theoretical evidence for bound biexcitons, and explain recent photoinduced absorption data.
