simultaneous absorption of two photons to reach an excited state, a nonlinear process whose rate grows with the square of light intensity.

In optics, two-photon absorption refers to simultaneous absorption of two photons to reach an excited state, a nonlinear process whose rate grows with the square of light intensity. This meaning comes from Göppert‐Mayer (1931) in Annalen der Physik.[1]
