Abstract
What we believe to be a new calibration method for H-fs-TALIF is proposed, and the ratio of two-photon absorption cross-sections, σ(2), for atomic hydrogen (H) and krypton (Kr) is determined using the broadband emission of a femtosecond laser system. The estimated ratio of the two-photon absorption cross-sections for H and Kr is σ(2)(Kr)/σ(2)(H) = 0.027 ± 20%, which is nearly twenty times lower than values previously obtained with narrowband nanosecond lasers. This discrepancy highlights the need for independent calibration of TALIF measurements for a specific laser pulsewidth range.
