Abstract

A theoretical analysis of linear and non-linear (two-photon absorption) electronic spectroscopy of all known porphyrinic pigments has been performed using linear and quadratic density functional response theory, with the long-range corrected CAM-B3LYP functional. We found that higher Soret transitions often contain non-Gouterman contributions and that each chlorophyll has the possibility for resonance enhanced TPA in the Soret region, although there is also significant TPA in the Q region.
