28. To reduce experimental noise in the reference data and to allow for arbitrary wavelength intervals, a smooth curve fit to the discrete literature data was used. As TPA reference data for coumarin 307 showed significant discrepancies between different, overlapping, wavelength regions (obtained using different laser optics), these data were piecewise scaled to eliminate discontinuities, keeping the average δ of overlapping regions constant. A sum of 4, 2, and 5 Gaussian functions was used to fit the TPA reference spectra of bis-MSB, coumarin 307, and fluorescein, respectively.

38. We use δ̄ here, as the value calculated by eq 2 (before combining the value with a line-shape function) corresponds to the integral TPA cross section into a particular excited state, while the values usually given in the literature correspond to peak values.
39. Our calculations are performed for molecules in the gas phase (i.e., the influence of the solvent on the molecular geometry and on transition dipoles and transition energies is not considered). Thus, L and n are set to 1.
40. 1 state for instance, we find excited-state relaxation energies of 0.15 eV in chromophore I and only 0.09 eV in II, when optimizing the excited-state geometries by coupling the AM1 Hamiltonian to a single configuration interaction scheme including 16 occupied and 16 unoccupied orbitals.
