Abstract
The propagation of light pulses through a two-photon active medium, taking into account the influence of both pulse duration and saturation on its absorbing capacity, is analyzed. The account of propagation effects is shown to improve the agreement with the experimental two-photon absorption (TPA) cross sections. The effective TPA cross section is found to be strongly influenced by off-resonant two-step two-photon absorption and saturation effects.
