Undergrad 3 photon transfer probability

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the probability of achieving a three-photon excitation in a two-level quantum system with an energy difference of ##\omega##. The photon source emits ##n## photons per second at a frequency of ##\omega/3##. Participants suggest leveraging insights from two-photon microscopy and third-harmonic generation to derive the excitation probability. These phenomena are well-documented and provide a solid foundation for understanding multi-photon interactions.

Hello! If I have a 2 level system with the energy difference between the levels ##\omega## and a photon source, producing ##n## photons per second, with a frequency ##\omega/3##. What is the probability of having a 3 photon excitation and how can I derive it?

Two photon microscope has been a familiar apparatus. I suppose you can get some insight from it.
 
Similarly, third-harmonic generation is a well-studied phenomenon with lots of references available.
