The selection rule of the simultaneous absorption of three CO 2 ‐laser photons (ThPA) by tellurium is experimentally determined by a two‐beam method. These experiments yield a new proof for the existence of a strong ThPA in Te. At Δ = 10.8 μm the ThPA absorption rates C ⊥ ≈ 5 × × 10 2 cm 3 /W 3 s and C ∥ ≈ 8 cm 3 /W 3 s are estimated. For the first time a three‐photon spectroscopy of the absorption band of Te ( E ⊥ c ) is reported. The absorption edge shows a distinct exciton peak. Finally, measurements of the intensity‐dependent transmission ( E ⊥ c ) of Te under various conditions demonstrate the considerable ThPA reduction at wavelengths ⪆ 11 μm.
