Two-photon-absorption coefficients are measured for fused silica, LiF, and the alkalai earth halides BaF/sub 2/, SrF/sub 2/, CaF/sub 2/, and MgF/sub 2/, using 0.7-psec, 248-nm pulses with intensities in the range 0.5--30 x 10/sup 10/ W/cm/sup 2/. The consequences of these measurements in the design of high-brightness excimer lasers are discussed.
