Two‐photon absorption (TPA) offers a rich playground for development of novel optical multifunctional technologies. Related experimental and theoretical methodologies are reviewed by Claudine Katan, Sergei Tretiak, and co‐workers on p. 4641 , with special attention to sources of errors that yield improper evaluation of TPA cross sections. Trends leading to large TPA responses are illustrated and thoroughly analyzed through a set of typical organic TPA‐fluorophores including branched systems.
