The two-photon fluorescence excitation and optoacoustic spectra of red polyDCHD-HS in benzene solution at room temperature have been investigated in the 1600-750 nm exciting wavelength region (effective twophoton energy 1.55-3.31 eV). The spectra obtained by the two detection techniques are of comparable accuracy, and the observed band profiles are in good agreement. Two electronic band systems have been observed and assigned to two-photon allowed Ag f Ag transitions. Both Ag states are at energies higher than that of the strongly one-photon allowed 1Bu state. An estimate of the absolute two-photon absorptivity of polyDCHD-HS at 406.0 nm (3.05 eV) is given by means of the optoacoustic method. Our results are discussed on the basis of the current theories on electronic states of ð-conjugated polymers and compared with reported data on these systems.

Abstract
The two-photon fluorescence excitation and optoacoustic spectra of red polyDCHD-HS in benzene solution at room temperature have been investigated in the 1600-750 nm exciting wavelength region (effective twophoton energy 1.55-3.31 eV). The spectra obtained by the two detection techniques are of comparable accuracy, and the observed band profiles are in good agreement. Two electronic band systems have been observed and assigned to two-photon allowed Ag f Ag transitions. Both Ag states are at energies higher than that of the strongly one-photon allowed 1Bu state. An estimate of the absolute two-photon absorptivity of polyDCHD-HS at 406.0 nm (3.05 eV) is given by means of the optoacoustic method. Our results are discussed on the basis of the current theories on electronic states of ð-conjugated polymers and compared with reported data on these systems.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
